The Donnafugata 2017 Etna Rosso Sul Vulcano is perfumed and floral with wild rose and pressed lavender. The wine’s floral imprint is equal to its fruity impact. You get plenty of wild cherry and fresh plum. The tannins are tucked into the silky fiber of this mid-weight Nerello Mascalese wine. I would suggest a near to medium-term drinking window for this bottle from a warm vintage.

Source Winemaker,

Sul Vulcano 2017, pale ruby red, offers an elegant bouquet with notes of red fruits (raspberry and cherry) and flowery scents (violet), along with delicate spicy nuances of cinnamon and nutmeg. Perfect harmony between aroma and taste, with good freshness and harmonious tannins. A long, balanced finish.

Food & wine
Perfect with mediterranean antipasti and first courses based on eggplant or mushrooms, meat and roast stew. Pairing options are numerous: from North-American cuisine (chicken wings, hamburgers) to moderate spicy Asian dishes (beef stir-fried, dumplings) to fusion cuisine like Tex-Mex based on meat and beans.
