2020 Etna Rosso 'Arcuria'

Product Info

The 2020 Etna Rosso “Arcuria” from Cantine Calcagno beautifully expresses the nuance and elegance of Mount Etna’s northern slopes. Crafted from predominantly Nerello Mascalese with a touch of Nerello Cappuccio, this wine spends time maturing in oak and bottle to develop both structure and low‑intervention clarity. The result is an Etna Rosso that balances bright, volcanic freshness with refined texture and captivating complexity—showcasing the distinct character of its terroir.
