Qvevri Rosso Vino di Anna 2019
Why it's worth a try
A natural red wine crafted from organically grown Nerello Mascalese grapes, hand-harvested from old bush vines (80-110 years old) located on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, Sicily. The grapes were destemmed by hand into handmade Georgian qvevris, where they underwent fermentation with wild yeasts, without additives, and no added sulfites. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its purity and complexity.
