The Etna Rosso Cavanera Rovo delle Coturnie di Firriato is born from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes cultivated in the Verzella district of the Castiglione di Sicilia (CT) territory, on the north-eastern slope of Etna. The originating cru is characterized by a sandy loam soil of volcanic origin. The altitude ranges between 650 and 750 meters above sea level. The harvest took place manually between the second and third decades of October with a yield of 56-58 quintals per hectare. During vinification, alcoholic fermentation lasted for 18 days at a temperature of 24-25°C. The aging process was 9 months in oak barrels and an additional 20 months in the bottle.
