2022 Eduardo Torres Acosta IGT Terre Siciliane Rosso Versante Nord

Aromas open with red cherry, wild strawberry, and pomegranate, followed by dried rose, herbs, and subtle smoke. The palate is precise and lifted, balancing bright acidity and fine-grained tannins with flavors of red fruit, blood orange, and a stony, saline edge. There’s a gentle tension that carries through the finish—clean, persistent, and energetic.

Today, Eduardo farms roughly six hectares of vines split between Etna’s northern and western slopes, centered near Randazzo and Solicchiata. The vineyards, planted between 600 and 1,000 meters above sea level, are scattered across historic contrade such as Pietramarina, Barbabecchi, and Calderara Sottana. Many of these parcels are over 50 years old and still trained in the traditional alberello style on ungrafted rootstock. Soils vary from coarse, decomposed volcanic sand to pure basalt and lava ash, creating wines that carry a striking mineral tension and transparency.
