From The Producers:
Vigna Poggio stretches for about 2 hectars in Monte La Guardia, a fraction of the commune of Randazzo located on the northern slope of Etna. The vines, according to Alberello training system supported by the characteristic chestnut pole, are a hundred-year-old and they have a plant density of 10.000 vines per hectare. They are cultivated on lava terraces in a fascinating place surrounded by a chestnut forest of rare beauty.
Vinification: Grapes, harvested between the first and the second week of October, start fermentation into red wine through a long maceration on their skins. Maturation: After the malolactic, the wine is poured in small tonneaux made of French oak, capacity 500L, where it remains for about two years.

Food and drink pairings: Refined and characterful at the same time, Reseca offers soft aromatic hints, to be enjoyed slowly so as to catch the most precious details as the wine regains life as it is aerated in the glass.

It goes well with game or the most prized cuts of meat, such as pheasant breast with truffle or chamois rumpsteak in walnut and blueberry sauce.
