Winemaking
The vines grow at a height of 700 - 800 m above sea level in the Biancavilla municipality on the south-west slope of Etna. Traditional mash fermentation over 21 days mainly in cement tanks, followed by 24 months of maturing in large oak casks.
Our tasting note
The wine has a vibrant, ruby red colour. It has red fruit aromas of sour cherry, mulberries and also marzipan. It also has aromas of ripe fruits on the palate. There are also notes of citrus fruits, tomato leaves and oregano. There is a nice mineral length in the finish, with a hint of flintstone.
IDDA
The IDDA estate is a joint venture between the Gaja and Graci families. They own 20 hectares of vineyards situated at altitudes between 600 and 800 meters in the villages of Belpasso and Biancavilla. The grape varieties currently cultivated are Nerello Mascalese and Carricante. Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, is a mountain formed several hundred thousand years ago by lava eruptions. The Sicilians attribute a feminine nature to Etna, which is why it is called IDDA, meaning "She" in Sicilian.
