Pietro Caciorgna red wine gift box - hamper

2020 Pietro Caciorgna 'Ciauria' Etna Rosso - 100% Nerello Mascalese from 70-110 year old vines in the most prestigious area of the Etna DOC. The Ciauria has been fermented in stainless steel and has also undergone malolactic fermentation. It has spent six months in second passage French oak and had at least six months of ageing in the bottle before its release. Ciauria is a fresh and fun expression of Nerello Mascalese spicy and exotic with fleshy red ripe fruits, sour melon and delicious minerality. The combination of the altitude, 2,000 feet above sea level, and the rich, mineral soil, give the wine extraordinary aromatic profile. The fruit is fresh and energetic, whilst the six months spent in second-fill oak barrels adds a little texture and spice.

2017 Pietro Caciorgna N*Anticchia Etna Rosso - N*Anticchia from 2005, was the first wine produced on Paolo's Etna Vineyard and is the result of the selection of the best grapes of the three vineyards. The name is a very beautiful word, which means a "little", widely used in the common speaking of the Sicilians. N*Anticchia represents the essence of Paolo's interpretation of Etna and the centenary Nerello Mascalese, the vine Prince of this magical area. N*Anticchia is rich in mineral notes thanks to the centuries-old lava torrents run through the soil. It has light fruity notes of strawberry and raspberry, velvety tannins, elegant, complex and has a persistent aftertaste. It is refined, extremely delicate, characterful and sophisticated. It reaches its best expression between 5 and 15 years of ageing.
