In a very short time they have become one of the finest producers from Sicily, their flagship wine, an Etna Rosso called Vigna Barbagalli, has already received 100 points from James Suckling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1 c1\"\u003eWith a desire to stay true to their terroir, Pietradolce only cultivates grape varieties that are native to the Mount Etna region and these include the following three grape varieties: Nerello Mascalese, a late harvesting grape creating light coloured wines that display a red fruit character and gentle tannins allowing the wines to be approachable at a young age, but also suitable for ageing. Nerello Cappuccio typically has a black fruit character that tends to be softer and less precise than its Mascalese counterpart. There are those who say Cappuccio is to Mascalese, what Merlot is to Cabernet. Finally, the winery also grows Carricante, a white grape variety that makes up the excellent Etna Bianco and is occasionally used to soften red varieties like Nerello Mascalese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1 c1\"\u003eThe wines of Etna are Pietradolce’s passion and it is a combination of respect for their tradition and modern viticulture techniques that enable them to make truly spectacular wines that express the unique terroir of Mount Etna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1 c1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"c1 c1\"\u003ePIETRADOLCE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"The official website of Pietradolce Wines\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pietradolce.it\/eng\/home.html#\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Like Pietradolce Wines on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pietradolce.etna\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Follow Pietradolce Wines on Instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pietradolce\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pietradolce-etna-rosato-sicily","title":"Pietradolce Etna Rosato 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pietradolce Etna Rosato is a Sicilian rosé wine made from the local Nerello Mascalese grape, grown on the northern slopes of Mount Etna.
