Tasting Menu with the Chef: Food and Wine Pairing with Etna Rosso Cru Pettinociarelle Famiglia Statella
Etna Rosso Pettinociarelle is much more than just a wine: it is a journey into the heart of Etna, a tale of volcanic soils, high altitudes and traditions handed down through generations. Its complex and elegant character reflects the strength of Nerello Mascalese and the unique terroir from which it comes.
To best enhance its structure and its characteristic notes of red fruits, Mediterranean scrub and velvety tannins, we have created a complete menu that celebrates Sicilian cuisine, with dishes that enhance the aromatic nuances and pleasant persistence of this cru.

Second course
Braised leg of lamb in red wine and cardoncelli mushrooms
The leg of lamb braised in red wine becomes the absolute protagonist. The slow cooking enhances the softness of the meat, while the cardoncelli mushrooms add a touch of rusticity and earth. This second course pairs perfectly with the structure and aromatic depth of our Etna Rosso, which accompanies every bite with elegance and persistence.
A wine that tells the territory
Each sip of Etna Rosso Pettinociarelle contains the unique flavor of the vines that grow on volcanic soils in the Pettinociarelle district, in the municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia. The mineral richness of the soil, combined with the high altitudes, gives the wine freshness, complexity and a long evolution over time.
