Eno-Trio Terre Siciliane Traminer Macerato 2022 750ml

This wine is produced from a one hectare vineyard, cultivated in an extreme area on the slopes of the Etna volcano, in the Contrada Nave, at an altitude of 1100 meters above sea level. It is a volcanic, rich soil derived from the decomposition of plant and animal residues. The vineyard is surrounded by chestnut trees, walnut trees, gorse plants and wild ferns. The vineyard has been planted to Gewürztraminer cuttings, purchased in France at the beginning of the 90s, which in Sicily takes the name of Traminer Aromatico. Two separate passes are done. The must of the first pass is pressed off the skins then added to the grapes and skins of a later harvest and is allowed to macerate for 30 days before pressing and being kept in steel for about two months before being bottling, unfiltered and unfined. There is also 10% Moscato added to the wine making the blend 90% Gewurztraminer and 10% Moscato. The Macerato is bright orange in color with a very fragrant and fruity nose of pink grapefruit, citrus and just a hint of lychee. The palate is very fresh with citrus notes, good structure and a fair amount of tannin that gives a lovely, dry finish. 12% alc.
