Discover the Etna Brut Sparkling Wine.
Made from Nerello Mascalese grapes, this Spumante Brut is made by the Murgo winery at Tenuta San Michele at 500 m above sea level, on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna, in a privileged panoramic position.
The company that makes this sparkling wine, located along one of the main access routes to the craters, has a vineyard that covers about 30 hectares and is registered with the Etna DOC.
The great acidity, the low concentration in color and many other elements that come from the terroir, make the grapes of Tenuta San Michele very suitable for the production of Spumante elaborated with the Classic Method.
The result is a Spumante Brut with great personality and structure that boasts the distinction of being the first spumante made from Nerello Mascalese grapes.
