2018 I Suoli Spumante Brut Nature

Producer: I Suoli  
Region: Sicily, Italy 
Blend: 100% Nerello Mascalese 
Year: 2021 

Winemaker Notes: 

"This rosé sparkling wine is made entirely of Nerello Mascalese, from vines that are between 40 and 100 years old, grown at between 650 and 750 meters. The soils are volcanic, as they are everywhere on Etna, formed from lava flows of different periods that have weathered with time. Nerello Mascalese makes excellent rosé, of course, one of the most interesting in Italy, and this just a sparkling version of it. Six thousand bottles produced." 

About the Producer: 

"As if Giuseppe Russo wasn’t sufficiently busy with the wines he makes under the Girolamo Russo label, he has committed to this new project with his two friends, eminent oenologist Emiliano Falsini and Dante Pasqua. They make both red wines and ‘metodo ancestrale’ sparkling wines, from vineyards near Russo’s winery in Passopisciaro, on the north side of Mount Etna." 

Alcohol: 11.5%
