Traditional Red Wine from Etna “I Vigneri”

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

I Vigneri is a frank and genuine wine, as old as its land and produced according to centuries-old methods. It is vinified in the Palmento Etneo, as has always been done on Etna. The Palmento was the family home that stood at the center of the estate’s land, where it was vinified naturally and without aging in wood.

The vineyards that give life to this wine are cultivated and worked by hand, using natural products and tools made by Sicilian artisans. The cultivation method is also traditional, in Alberello Etneo. Fermentation takes place spontaneously without the addition of yeasts and the planned aging is 6 months in buried terracotta jars. Racking and bottling are carried out following the phases of the moon.

The color is bright with a beautiful ruby red.
On the nose it is fruity and intense, in particular wild berries, blackberries and cherries are perceived; characteristic and particular is instead the hint of ash, given by the Etnean soil.
On the palate the fruity hints are recalled in the medium-structured but balanced sip.
At the table it supports red meat, grilled or roasted, and every type of earthy first course; it is also excellent with cheeses and tomatoes in oil from southern Italy.

INGREDIENTS AND BENEFITS

A glass of wine a day keeps the doctor away!
It is clear that wine is not harmful to our bodies, as a substance given to us by nature in the form of fruit from which man over the centuries has managed to obtain this heavenly beverage. We can guarantee that our winemakers work by following ancient methods, supported by the aid of contemporary technologies: this is why we feel confident in saying that Italian wine, the real one, is a panacea for body and mind.

The presence of polyphenols in wine (to a lesser extent in white wines and in large quantities in reds, especially when aged) provides constant protection against cellular oxidation, the main culprit of aging and cellular deterioration.

Perhaps even more obvious and important, however, are the psychological benefits that a good glass of Italian wine can give you: the lightheartedness it brings to an evening with friends, the romance it helps to create in a couple’s dinner, the passion it is able to unleash in anyone lucky enough to taste its essences.

SHIPPING

We receive your order, prepare it and ship it in 24/36 hours.

We are aware that excellent products need excellent packaging and at the same time we cannot risk damaging in any way the precious Italian culinary jewels: for this reason our warehouse is equipped with temperature and lighting ideal for food preservation and the most delicate ones (cheeses, cold cuts and craft beers) are stored inside cold rooms. During shipping, on the other hand, each product is protected with the packaging most appropriate to its characteristics.

Cheeses and cured meats, which despite being aged require special care, travel accompanied by a special slow-release gel ice inside isothermal bags: in this way freshness is preserved until the goods arrive at your home.

For our craft beers, which are unpasteurized and therefore more sensitive to high temperatures than normal, we use special isothermal bubble wrap, which can ensure that the accumulated cold is maintained for the shipping time while protecting the bottles from shocks.

To secure the precious bottles of Italian wine, we have equipped ourselves with special inflatable bags, designed solely for the purpose of immobilizing and protecting this product inside the box.

For jars containing a thousand Italian goodnesses, we use special protective bubble wrap liners.
