{"product_id":"etna-rosso-rumex-monteleone","title":"Etna Rosso Rumex, Monteleone","description":"\u003cp\u003eRumex is Monteleone’s cru Etna Rosso, 100% \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNerello Mascalese from a single vineyard on Etna’s northern slope, in Contrada Pontale Palino. A beautifully precise Etna Rosso, lifted and mineral, with fine tannins and real depth. Classic north-facing Etna character. Elegant rather than powerful, with plenty of energy and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--more--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rumex site is ringed by sciara (mounds of volcanic scoriae formed along lava flows), and the soils are volcanic sand with some gravel — classic ingredients for Etna reds that lean into line, lift and detail. This is also the wine that flags one of the estate’s most special pieces of vineyard history: the vines here are over a century old, trained in the traditional Alberello Etneo (bush vine) system, and they survived the 1911 eruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nerello Mascalese grapes are harvested by hand early in the morning, then fermented in small tanks without temperature control, with 10–12 days’ maceration and manual punch-downs. Malolactic happens in oak tonneaux with indigenous lactic bacteria, and the ageing is patient and layered: 16 months in 500L and 300L French oak tonneaux, then 2 months in concrete, and 6 months in bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sociovino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57911881826691,"sku":"ML0523","price":67.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0065\/3249\/files\/EtnaRossoRumex_Monteleone-Sicily_Italy.jpg?v=1777370176","url":"https:\/\/sociovino.com\/products\/etna-rosso-rumex-monteleone","provider":"Sociovino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
