Biondi - 'Cisterna Fuori' Etna Rosso 2021
Biondi Description
‘Cisterna Fuori’ has been owned by the Biondi family for many centuries. It means ‘outside cistern’, a reference to an ancient water cistern in the middle of the vineyard site. The vines grow on the side of a spent crater which dates back to 125 B.C. and is very steep, with supporting dry stone terraced walls. This site is in the opposing crater to ‘San Nicolò’, and is essentially across the street. Despite the closer proximity, the variety in exposure and temperature creates two totally different wines - San Nicolo’s elegance and perfume offers an amazing contrast to Cisterna Fuori’s power and complexity. Ciro and Stef Biondi were married in the very heart of this vineyard in 2004.
