2010 Etna Rosso Cantine Valenti COOKING WINE
| Grapes | Nerello Mascalese |
| Colour | Red |
| Origin | Italy, Sicily |
| ABV | 13% |
Nerello Mascalese, with a tiny amount of Nerello Capuccio (2%), all grown on the North Eastern slopes of Mount Etna, and given twelve months in large Slavonian oak 'botte'. Lovely on the nose, very elegant, with soft ripe fruits and tannins in the mouth, almost sweet and savoury, and a satisfying dry finish. This is so very drinkable and miles apart from the Sicilian alcoholic monster reds that seem to be so prevalent. Almost like a cross between Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo, with similar tannin and acid structure, yet with more open fruit mid palate. Lovely to drink. L&S (Apr 2012)

Cantine Valenti
Cantine Valenti is a relatively new outfit having started in 2004, with twenty hectares of vines, all planted on the North Eastern slopes of Mount Etna, many of them being at 800-900 metres. The vineyards are worked manually and as naturally as possible, and all of the wines rely upon natural yeasts to start the ferment. Only large Salvonian oak 'botte' are used for ageing the wines in order to maintain as much natural character as possible.
