Sciaranuova
Sciaranuova is a named contrada on Etna and a strong vocabulary entry because the name itself evokes the lava-stone landscape. Wines may show the region's usual contrast of ripe sunlight and cool-night acidity, with Nerello Mascalese reds carrying red fruit, spice, smoke, and firm tannin. As an encyclopedia entry, it helps connect Etna's geology with what a reader sees on a label.
Notable Rules
Contrada names are geographic indications within Etna DOC when eligible; the DOC remains the core appellation category.
Also Known As
