Eredi di Maio Utri Etna Rosso 2018

Utri Etna Rosso 2018 is a 100 % Nerello Mascalese from Eredi di Maio, grown on steep slopes of Etna around Spadatrappo at roughly 850 meters. The vineyards are old, yielding very low crop levels, and the wine is organically farmed (though uncertified), using ambient yeasts and modest production (about 753 bottles).

It shows a poised elegance: the nose brings red cherry, wild berry, and subtle floral notes, with hints of volcanic minerality and earthy undergrowth. On the palate it’s medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and a long finish that combines soft spice and mineral tension. Perfect when matched with roast meats or aged cheeses, or simply enjoyed on its own after decanting.
