iCustodi’s Aetneus is produced from grapes sourced from vines up to 90 years old, harvested by hand around mid-October. After careful selection, the grapes are brought to the winery in shallow crates. Here they are gently crushed after de-stemming about 80% of the bunches. Maceration takes place for 12 days in steel vats at a temperature of 25-28°C (77-82°F), followed by malolactic fermentation in tonneaux. The wine is aged for a minimum of 36 months, of which ⅔ is aged in used and ⅓ in new tonneaux. Finally, it is followed by 24 months of aging in bottle. The wine has an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it is ethereal and intense, with distinct hints of ripe fruit and tobacco. On the palate, the wine presents itself elegantly and harmoniously, with a considerably long finish and pleasant tannins. Serving temperature: 18-20° C

I Custodi

I Custodi are the guardians, the keepers of the vineyards of Etna: guarding means preserving the land, maintaining the traditions and respecting the people. From these values and from the love of a beautiful land, where wine was brought by man more than two millennia ago, come the wines of I Custodi, the result of the generosity and minerality of the warm volcanic soil, the cold of the Muntagna and the sun of Sicily.
