Duca di Salaparuta Vajasindi Lavico 2010

The slopes of Mount Etna have always been the perfect habitat for Nerello Mascalese, in terms of both maturation and aromatic expression. Lavico sums up Nerello Mascalese's decisive and slightly wild character in a refined manner and is a true expression of its territory of origin and the volcano.

Ruby red with garnet red highlights. Fragrant, intense, spicy, and complex bouquet and rich in sensations, hints of fruit and vanilla well blended together. Good structure, elegance, and personality on the palate, with lively and austere tannins and persistence. Excellent served with fragrantly flavored, red-meat dishes and mature cheeses at a serving temperature of 62–64 degrees F. Served chilled (at 59 degrees F), it also goes perfectly with savory fish dishes.
