The Filippo Grasso Ripiddu Etna Rosso appears a ruby red with garnet reflections in the glass. The palate reveals spicy notes with hints of smoke and a dry, full and pleasantly tannic finish.

Enjoy with red meats, game, roasts, or mature cheeses.

90% Nerello Mascalese, 10% Nerello Mantellato sourced from the north side of Mt. Etna in the Contrada Caldera. Soft pressing of the grapes, pre-fermentation maceration on the skins for 12-15 days, controlled temperature fermentation, aging in stainless steel.
