Signum Aetnae Etna Doc 2015 Prephylloxera

Cured meats and butcher's shop, game and long-aged cheeses

In the vineyards of the Cavanera Etnea estate, you will admire a rare and precious treasure: a pre-phylloxera vineyard. Long-lived and centuries-old plants, which are distinguished by the formation of the trunk, have often evolved into concentric circles, coils and twisted arms. Creatures that time has forged, bringing them to us, full of history. From these centuries-old plants comes the Etna Riserva Signum Aetnae. The Signum aetnae is the flagship of Firriato's Etna production, which produces Nerello Mascalese grapes and other straight-footed relict varieties in the vineyard. A pre-phylloxera plot, whose plants were planted before the arrival of the aphid on Etna. This precious Etna DOC Riserva comes from vineyards cultivated according to the traditional Etna sapling system, at 650 meters on the north-eastern side of the volcano, a vineyard dating back to the second half of the 19th century, which bears witness to the centuries-old culture of wine on the most active volcano in Europe. This treasure, depending on the vintage, gives life to approximately 3,500 bottles, destined to embellish the most prestigious cellars
