Tenuta di Fessina Etna Rosso il Musmeci 2024

Tenuta di Fessina’s Etna Rosso Il Musmeci 2024 is a single-vineyard expression of Nerello Mascalese, shaped by the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. It draws its character from old vines in Rovittello, where altitude and distinctive volcanic soils lend the wine freshness and aromatic depth.

Tasting Notes
Pale ruby in colour with garnet hues, it opens with aromas of liqueur-soaked red fruit, glacial mint and balsamic herbs, followed by hints of ash, liquorice and woodland. On the palate, lively acidity meets silky tannins, with Morello cherry and nutmeg leading into a generous, lingering finish. Its balance, concentration and time in oak give it the structure to develop further in bottle. The available information does not specify a precise drinking window.

Production
The grapes come from Rovittello on Etna’s northeastern slope, at around 700 metres above sea level, where vines more than 80 years old grow in volcanic soils. The harvest takes place in October, followed by careful bunch selection, gentle destemming and crushing, and temperature-controlled fermentation. The wine macerates on its skins for 15 days before ageing in French oak; the producer’s description also notes an extended period of bottle rest. A specific harvesting method is not stated.

Food & Serving
Try it with mature cheeses or flavourful pork dishes, which complement its savoury notes and supple tannins. Serve at around 16–18°C. A short decant of 30–60 minutes can help the wine’s layered aromas open up.

Producer
Tenuta di Fessina makes this cru as a tribute to the Musmeci family and their care for old vines on Etna’s slopes. The wine reflects the region’s longstanding viticultural tradition and the distinctive character of high-altitude Rovittello. The supplied information does not include further details about the estate’s history or awards for the 2024 vintage.
