2022 Filippo Grasso Etna Rosato DOC

Tangy, zingy, pink cherry fruit and Mediterranean shrub. This is one of our all time favorite rosati- it goes down a little too easy.

Filippo Grasso is a small family owned winery on the north side of Mount Etna in Sicily. They are 4th generation winemakers and have been bottling their own wine since 2006. They are located on the Contrada Calderada, which features soils of large, black volcanic rocks that absorb the heat of the sun during the day and retain this warmth at night, protecting the vines from cool mountain nights. 

This particular contrada has some of the oldest soils on Etna- what does that mean? taste the wine and you'll find out- a ripping acidity characteristic of the Ellittico soils.
