Grown on the high altitude slopes of Mount Etna, this vibrant red is a beautiful introduction to Sicily’s volcanic wines. Named Carusu or young boy in local dialect, it is crafted to be an approachable and lively expression of the region, balancing the rugged nature of the mountain with a sophisticated, modern polish. The grapes are harvested from some of the highest vineyards in the world, resulting in a wine that feels incredibly fresh and weightless despite its deep complexity. It is the perfect choice for someone looking to explore the elegant, floral side of Italian red wines.
