Torre Mora ‘Cauru’ Etna Rosso DOC 2021/22
£18.00
Mount Etna is an iconic feature of the Sicilian landscape. It’s one of the world’s most active volcanoes and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2013. Its highly fertile soils make it a prime spot for agriculture – and it’s here that Torre Mora grow their grapes. They make this wine from two local varieties, Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. Its name, ‘Cauru’, means ‘hot’ in Sicilian – a reference to the heat and energy contained in the volcanic soils. This heat makes for intense, ripe flavours, but the wine is also remarkably fresh thanks to the region’s drastically cooler nighttime temperatures, which help retain the grapes’ natural acidity. Discover vibrant notes of raspberry and violet, with jammy cherry flavours and fine, silky tannins. You can also expect a distinct savoury character that makes this an ideal accompaniment to richer poultry, mushroom-based dishes and mature cheeses.
