Fermentation at a controlled temperature of 28 to 30°C. Maturation, including malolactic fermentation, for 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels. Then a further month in stainless steel before bottling.

Pale ruby with orange reflections. Fresh nose with black currant, blueberries and a hint of peppermint. Fruity and complex on the palate with balsamic notes, black cherries and black currant. Power combined with finesse. Exceptional ageing potential.

The Guardiola cru is situated on the northern slopes of Mount Etna at an altitude of 850 to 900 metres above level. The vines, planted 50 to 70 years ago, grow on a mixture of sand and volcanic ash.
