Etna Rosso 1200 Metri

Stef Yim, an Asian-American who, after having refined himself as a sommelier in Los Angeles and aware of wine-making experiences in California and France, becomes an oenologist and founds Sciara Agriculture Company. He finds his credo in the uniqueness of the Etna volcanic soil so much so that he wants to push himself ever closer to the crater. On the north-eastern, north-western and south sides of the mountain Etna, the vineyards, some of which are over a hundred years old, are naturally arranged in bush form. The company also owns the highest red grape vineyard in Europe, located at about 1500 meters.

The wine is obtained from one of the highest commercial vineyard in Italy and probably in Europe, located on Mount Etna. The temperature could fluctuate from 6 to 15 degrees Celsius between day and night. As the vines respond to the stress there will be more complex elements to develop in the grapes. This wine truly demonstrates the characteristics of Etna's environment & it's soil.

Surreal aromas that reminiscent of rose petals, vetiver grass and humid stone odor in a rain forest. The transparent texture of the mouth seems to elaborate the flavors of mountain berries. The wine has the purity that sincerely expresses the soil.
