Etna Rosso 'Il Musmeci' by Tenuta di Fessina is a wine dedicated to Mr. Ignazio Musmeci, who for many years has preserved the vines with so much love that it has been able to work vines that are over eighty years old. It is a pure Nerello Mascalese that was born in Rovittello at 700 meters above sea level. from 1932 vineyards. Cultivated in semicircular skies that create a microclimate that allows the grapes to ripen slowly and completely, giving the wine unique elegance and complexity, which are refined in the bottle, giving austerity and longevity. Refines 10-12 months in French oak tonneaux, then in large barrels for 6-8 months and finally in the bottle for at least 4 years. Bouquet of red fruit and Mediterranean herbs, tannic and silky taste, velvety, round, complex finish. Excellent.

Federico Curtaz is a famous agronomist, valdostano of origin, which over the years has built a reputation as a serious advisor and prepared. The fate led him on the slopes of a mountain far away from his home: Etna. A challenge that has chosen to be collected in 2007 in the company of his partner and producer in Tuscany Silvia Maestrelli. Within a few years of Fessina Tenuta it reaches truly exceptional qualitative targets, the result of a wise and careful work in the vineyard and in the winery, which has allowed the company to produce the rich wines of character, reluctant to ride the fads . native grapes, stony soil and volcanic ash and altitudes of the vineyards that touch the 900 meters, are the ingredients of a more than successful production, where the specifics of the terroir are further enhanced by clever use of wood (only tonneau and large barrels) and steel. The winery is located on the main street of Rovittello, after the railway line Circumetnea.La old manor house, surrounded by olive trees Millicucco, is built on a "hollow" irregular 6 hectares, entirely surrounded by two arms of ancient volcanic eruptions, now recaptured by the vegetation. A winery that has impressed us with its beautiful White Etna, fair and authentic expression of this magnificent area.
