Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Archineri is Pietradolce's old-vine Etna Rosso, from bush-trained Nerello Mascalese, many of the vines 80 to 100 years old, in contrada Rampante on Etna's north slope at around 850 to 900 metres. It is fermented in steel and aged in French oak, and shows red cherry, raspberry and orange peel with dried herbs, liquorice and a smoky volcanic minerality. Fine tannin and lively acidity give it the elegance of high-altitude Nerello.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.
