A new wine amphitheater, born of volcanic eruptions that over the centuries have given rise to a valuable terrestrial substrate for viticulture: mainly free-living, prefillosserous vines, exposed to the most extreme climatic agents, develop on dark volcanic soils resulting from lava flows. Here in this almost lunar landscape, Animardente was born. A name that tells the soul of the silent volcano, unexpected and incandescent, giving life to perpetual motion. An irrepressible and seductive force of nature, an expression of a unique terroir. The wine’s name derives precisely from the bowels of the volcano, its incessant activity, the heat and color of the magma Animardente is a pure nerello mascalese, produced from bush-trained vines rising 700 meters above sea level, on soils that are sometimes sandy and ashy, sometimes pebbly and gravelly subjected to extreme day/night temperature swings. Seductive, powerful, textural, authentic. Etna Doc Rosso, first vintage in 2012.
