Numer0 - Etna Rosso 2024

(Sicily, Italy) Numer0 is a nomadic winemaking project founded by Piero Ioli (known for his work at Dislivelli in Valtellina) together with Maria Elena Dioguardi. Conceived as an open-ended, location-shifting experiment, Numer0 is built on a simple but radical premise: each year, the winery moves. New territory, new vineyards, new experiments. In 2024, Numer0 stayed in Sicily but this time on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna, an area less frequently highlighted than Etna’s northern sector. Three wines were produced from volcanic soils, including this red that was macerated in a restored underground fermentation “well” found on site. This wine shows the spicy structure of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Capuccio, filled out with the inky fruit and body of Alicante Bouschet.
