About Vino di Anna Palmento Rosso

Today, Etna is one of the most prestigious and highly valued wine regions in the world. This area in particular, where the volcano of eastern Sicily reigns supreme, is producing wines with great potential made and produced by visionaries who are trying to recover the tradition of cultivating in the volcano’s higher areas.

At the end of the 19th century Etna was one of the most important wine-producing areas in Italy. The vineyards were located at the foot of the volcano, in the flatter areas at lower altitude. But everything changed with the arrival of phylloxera. Pushed by the circumstances, which destroyed the vine from the root, the winegrowers had to move their vineyards to higher areas, where the volcanic soil and sand slowed the spread of the disease. This meant twice the effort and twice the work, however fortunately, the result was much better, and they discovered intense wines of great quality and intense minerality. Again things changed in the middle of the 20th century with the arrival of American roots. With the phylloxera remedy in hand, it was no longer necessary to cultivate vines in the higher areas, so production returned to the foot of the volcano. The quality that had previously been discovered and demanded fell sharply, leaving Sicily at the bottom of Italian winemaking areas.

Now, without any excuses, winemakers are once again moving towards the heights and the warmth of the volcano, as they have been doing for more than 10 years at Vino di Anna. Vino Di Anna is a family winery lying on the north side of Etna. This completely organic and natural project is currently run by Anna Martens and Eric Narioo, who have been in the area for more than a decade making wines biodynamically, with minimal intervention. This type of cultivation is possible thanks to the area’s dry climate, often influenced by winds from Africa, where they sometimes don’t even need to fumigate the vines to avoid fungal diseases.

Vino di Anna cultivates seven hectares, mostly with old vines (between 60 and 100 years old), planted at an altitude between 650 and 1,200 metres above sea level. From this area comes Vino di Anna Palmento Rosso, a wine made in a Palmento (a traditional local building, dug into the ground, similar to a wine cellar). Vino di Anna Palmento Rosso 2018 begins its journey here with three distinct batches or cuvées. One batch undergoes a 5-day pre-fermentation maceration, where the skins (which must always be damp), are pushed down with hands and feet; one batch undergoes a 100-day maceration in a Georgian qvevri (giant terracotta amphorae); and the final batch is fermented and aged in a used oak barrel. The blend of these three wines, fermented with native yeasts and aged on lees for a year, makes the final Vino di Anna Palmento Rosso. The wine is then bottled without filtration or clarification, and this is the final touch before we get to enjoy this wine and this Italian land.

2018

Vino di Anna Palmentino Rosso 2018 is a smooth red wine. The nose is attractive, with aromas of red cherry and wild strawberry. The palate is dry and balanced, with fruity notes, juicy tannins and fresh acidity.
