2020 Biondi San Nicolo' Etna Rosso

Ciro Biondi's family has owned vineyards on the southern side of Mt Etna since 1800, and first sold bottled wine under their label a century ago. The modern iteration of the Biondi winery started in 1999. Ciro (an architect by training) and his wife Stef own three
vineyards near the small town of Trecastagni, and have reworked an old palmento in one of their vineyards as a winery.

The San Nicolo vineyard runs up the side of a 12,000yr old spent crater. All of the vines in the vineyard are ungrafted. This site shows elegant red fruit and flowers, balanced with rich minerality. Savor with grilled steak or roasted meats. 80% Nerello Mascalese, 20% Nerello Cappuccio
