Box 'Etna Nuove Espressioni' Donnafugata (2bt)

Donnafugata's 'Etna Nuove Espressioni' Box is an exclusive wine box containing two fine "volcanic" interpretations from the Donnafugata winery, a landmark in Sicilian oenology. Donnafugata's adventure on the slopes of Etna began in 2016, when the Rallo family crowned their dream of producing wine on the "Muntagna". The choice fell on the northern slope of the volcano, among the most prestigious, a place where today the winery manages 35 hectares of vineyards spread over 7 different districts. A key factor in determining the unique character of the wines produced here is the climate, characterized by strong daily temperature ranges in summer and a tendentially continental temperature, lashed, however, by the intensity of the Sicilian sun.

The Donnafugata 'Etna Nuove Espressioni' Box is a valuable wooden box containing one bottle of Etna Bianco 'Sul Vulcano' and one bottle of Etna Rosso 'Sul Vulcano'. Theevocative and colorful illustration depicting the erupting volcano then makes this box even more precious. Going into the details of the wines, Etna Bianco 'Sul Vulcano' is a 100% Carricante from vines raised on terraces at an altitude of about 750 meters above sea level, on lava soil with a sandy texture rich in minerals. Vinification takes place between steel and multi-step French oak barrels, resulting in a white wine with a deep citrus and mineral character. Etna Rosso 'Sul Vulcano,' also made with only Nerello Mascalese grapes, comes from terraced vineyards located at an altitude of 750 meters above sea level on sandy soils of volcanic nature. The containers used in vinification are the same as those used for Etna Bianco, namely steel and barrels of several passages, a factor that helps, on the one hand, to maintain the characteristic aromas and freshness of Nerello and, on the other, to enrich its aromatic bouquet.

For those who love the volcanic soul of Etna wines, the Donnafugata 'Etna Nuove Espressioni' Box is simply not to be missed.
