What importer Bowler Wine has to say about this wine...
85% Nerello Mascalese/15% other. Acosta organically 3.5 hectares on the north face or versante nord of Mt. Etna. The parcels are scattered amongst 6 different contrade or districts (currently Pietramarina, Allegracore, Sciaranuova, Friera, Santo Spirito and Marchesa). Averaging over 50 years old, the vines are in alberello, either as individual bushes or on wires depending on the parcel; the varieties are interplanted and include a preponderance of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, as well as smatterings of Alicante, Garnacha and other reds (plus many white varieties). The soils are sandy volcanic ash and the elevation ranges from 550 to 850 meters.
