The 2011 Etna Rosso Moganazzi Volta Sciara opens to dusty and dry sensations of crushed stone, flint, talc powder and dry fruit. Despite the subdued and streamlined bouquet, it offers big power and persistency in the mouth that hinges on a solid tannic backbone. This will need a few more years to develop. Drink 2017-2027.
Le Vigne di Eli is Marco de Grazia-s second line of Etna wines that is dedicated to his daughter. Her colorful drawings are featured on the labels.
