ETNA DOC ROSÉ
PETRALAVA
Etna Rosato
85% NERELLO MASCALESE
15% NERELLO CAPPUCCIO
Taste the Volcano in your glass
Petralava Etna DOC Rosé is made from local native varieties, a direct expression of the Volcano’s nature. Nerello Mascalese is enriched by the qualities of the Nerello Cappuccio, creating a wine with elegant fruit aromas, a decisive palate and a pale pink colour with delicate ruby tints.
Like the Etna red, the rosé comes from the Castiglione di Sicilia, Randazzo, Linguaglossa and Piedimonte areas. Its versatility and fragrance are further proof of the excellence of the Etna DOC zone.
