Alessandro Viola Sinfonia di Rosso Terre Siciliane IGT 2022

Alessandro Viola’s Sinfonia di Rosso represents a unique and fascinating interpretation of Nerello Mascalese, a typical Etna grape variety grown in purity in the Pietra Rinosa contrada in Alcamo, Sicily. This wine features masterful aging in chestnut wood, an element that adds further complexity and depth to its sensory profile.

Viola’s production philosophy focuses on a natural and organic approach, with production without the addition of sulfites. This commitment to naturalness is also reflected in the winemaking, which is done through spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, highlighting the winemaker’s desire to let the wine fully express its character and terroir of origin.

Sinfonia di Rosso 2021 has an alcohol content of 13% vol and no added sulfur (SO2). The limited production of 2,500 bottles underscores its artisanal and sophisticated nature.

The vineyard, spread over one hectare with an average age of the vines of 6 years, is located at an altitude of 220 meters above sea level on limestone soil. The planting is espalier, with a vine density of 4,000 vines per hectare, which suggests special attention to vineyard management to ensure high quality production.

Alessandro Viola’s Sinfonia di Rosso thus represents a work of oenological art, combining Sicilian winemaking tradition with innovation and attention to environmental sustainability. The wine embodies the excellence of the land and the producer’s commitment to creating unique and unforgettable sensory experiences.
