Description

A “natural amphitheatre” is a terrace with steps or a steep slope on which vineyards are cultivated in hilly or mountainous regions. These terrace formations are reminiscent of the seating arrangement in an amphitheatre, where rows of seats are arranged in ascending tiers around a central arena. When applied to vineyard cultivation, these terraces stand out for their scenic beauty and functionality. As well as looking very evocative, it also offers drainage, sun exposure and ventilation. In the wine region around Mount Etna, the steep slopes and high altitude of the volcano have led to the creation of these “natural amphitheatres”. Gaining international recognition in recent years for the uniqueness of its wines, many of the wineries are small and family-owned, often following traditional winemaking practices that emphasize the production of quality wines. SRC, the small project run by the Parasiliti family, know their 17 hectares of vineyards plant by plant, and, with passion and love, they make fresh, mineral and inspiring wines.

Their SRC Etna Rosso is a red wine made mainly with the native Nerello Mascalese variety with a small amount of other local varieties. The vines are about 70 years old on volcanic soil and are cultivated using organic and biodynamic treatments. Following a manual harvest, the wine is vinified in the winery based on a philosophy of minimal intervention with spontaneous fermentation and a three-week maceration. The wine is then aged for 12 months in cement tanks and finally bottled during the waning moon period, without the addition of sulphites.
