Vigneti Vecchio 'Crasa Contrada' Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese 2016

$54.99

Even though 2016 was the inaugural harvest, Carmelo Vecchio was no stranger either to the wine business on Mt Etna. He put time in at Passopisciaro winery among others and it was his wife Rosa's family who bequeathed them 1ha. of especially old vines. This is 90% Nerello Mascalese and a smattering of other narive grapes from vines approaching 90 years old planted in the Crasa vineyard.andnbsp;Native yeast fermentation aged for 9 months in in used 500L barrels. This is a fine andamp; lithe rendition, wonderfully expressive aromatically with excellent intensity and superb balance. It will age gracefully over the next 5+ years but is a joy already.andnbsp;andnbsp;
