Gaio Gaio a lovely organic red wine from the old Etna winery Calabretta located near Randazzo on the northern slope of Mount Etna. The Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio vines for this wine grow at an altitude of 700 m and have an age of 5 years. A young wine - juicy, fresh and dynamic supported by an invigorating acidity that makes it extremely refreshing and also suitable as a summer wine.
Massimiliano Calabretta is part natural winemaker/philosopher who, in his day job, is a Professor of Electrical Power Engineering, specialising in Nuclear Fusion. The vineyards are mostly 80+ years old, many planted piede franco (ungrafted rootstock) and no chemicals or pesticides have ever been used.Product/Service Sold Out | Yes |
