Eudes

Etna

The vineyards of Vini Eudes are located 750-770 meters on Etna’s eastern slopes: high above the strip of land that separates Sicily’s defining volcano from the Ionian Sea. Giovanni Messina and Laura Torrisi have young plantings of carricante and catarratto and one parcel of ungrafted nerello mascalese vines, planted 100 to 130 years ago. Monte Gorna’s black sand and pumice soils are rich in potassium and minerals, poor in organic matter, and highly porous—ideal conditions for long, slow, healthy vine growth. Giovanni and Laura are committed to organic farming, hand harvests, and clean, temperature-controlled fermentations in stainless steel.

Eudes 2017 "Milleottocentoquaranta" Etna Rosso DOC

The Eudes rosso “Milleottocentoquaranta” is an impressive expression of terroir, composed of 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio from 120-130 year old vines grown on Monte Gorna’s sandy volcanic soils at approximately 750 meters above sea level. The wine undergoes alcoholic fermentation and malolactic in tank for 6 months before being racked for an additional 6 months in neutral oak barrels. Mille Ottocento Quaranta translates to 1840.
