‘Vico Prephylloxera’ Etna Rosso DOC 2016 – Tenute Bosco
The wine ‘Vico Prephylloxera’ Etna Rosso DOC 2016 – Tenute Bosco is characterized by a brilliant ruby red.
The olfactory picture is multifaceted and complex and opens on exposure on fruity notes of black cherry and mulberry, followed by vegetal, spicy and delicate hints of patchouli and Mediterranean scrub. On the palate it is opulent, juicy and passionate, with compact and polymerized tannins and a final of imperishable persistence. Refine 14 months in 700 liter French oak barrels and at least 12 months in bottle.
A deep wine, of great concentration and with a sensational and varied taste-olfactory expressiveness. It is a maieutic wine: an assertive revealer of unexpressed truths. Duty to rank it among the best Sicilian wines.
