One of the most thrilling regions for Italian wine has to be the area around Mt. Etna. Home to an active volcano, the black lava soil and steep slopes create ideal growing conditions for a wide variety of grapes. The grapes used to produce the I Turizzi Rosso are grown at 670 meters above sea level on the volcano’s northern slopes. Ruby in color with black and red fruit, notes of tobacco, and hints of oak, the nose is sumptuous—as is the palate with its strong body, silky tannins, and earth. Sensational with Sicilian lamb or a grilled steak with mushrooms.
