AT THE TABLE

Lamb with rosemary

Firm tannins suit the meat while the fresh berry edge lifts the herbs.

SOMETHING SIMPLE

Aubergine with tomato and pecorino

Fresh acidity meets the tomato and the grip balances the cheese.

FOR SHARING

Duck breast with red cabbage

Tart berry flavours suit the cabbage and the firm structure matches the duck.

Also good

Try lentils with roasted mushrooms; the firm structure gives the earthy plate some weight.

Skip

Sweet chilli glaze would hide the crunchy berry fruit and make the grip feel harder.

Serve at

16–18 °C

Vino di Anna: small plots on a living volcano

Anna Martens and Eric Narioo made their first Etna wine together in 2008, then bought old bush vines and a derelict palmento near Solicchiata. Their small plots follow different lava flows across the volcano’s northern slopes. Hand farming and native yeasts guide the work, with wines resting in vessels as varied as Georgian qvevri, chestnut wood and lava stone.
