What to say

A wine of strong ruby colour and a rich and elegant bouquet of red berries, sour cherry and flinty notes, this wine is strong and pronounced on the palate, and a long and persistent mineral finish.
90 points from Decanter (2017 vintage)
Palmento Costanzo sits in Contrada Santo Spirito on the northern slope of Etna, around a conservatively restored 19th-century palmento (traditional lava-stone wine press) with a new bio-architectural cellar built beside it.

The producer

Palmento Costanzo

Palmento Costanzo sits in Contrada Santo Spirito on the northern slope of Etna, around a conservatively restored 19th-century palmento (traditional lava-stone wine press) with a new bio-architectural cellar built beside it. Its eighteen hectares are terraced across several contrade, each on a different lava flow, and every parcel is vinified separately in steel, tonneaux or large casks so each soil speaks with its own voice.

Alcohol: 14%
