A breakout star in the Etna DOC of Sicily, Tornatore has become one of the region's largest and most respected wineries. Established back in 1865, the estate continues to be run by the same family who have acted as the faithful custodians of the land for generations. Tending to high altitude vineyards on the north side of the active volcano, the conditions are ideal for indigenous grape varieties to thrive. The wines are distinctive bottlings which encapsulate the essence of Mount Etna and effortlessly reveal the unique characteristics that make the region one to watch

Etna Rosso “Contrada Pietrarizzo” is a pure expression of Nerello Mascalese, produced in the esteemed Tenuta Tornatore cru, historically renowned for the exceptional quality of its grapes. Delicate and remarkably balanced on the nose, with evident notes of small red fruits and florals, seamlessly integrated with mineral character and evolution. On the palate, it boasts impressive structure while delivering surprising drinkability and elegance before ending with a resounding finish. 

Pair this with rich meats or any kind of pasta with tomato based-sauces. If you want to keep it traditional then try alongside eggplant caponata!
