Vino di Anna ‘Vendredi 13’

Vino di Anna ‘Vendredi 13’ – the happiest of accidents, the offspring of various established cuveés, homogenised in fate. This is a once-off product that was created as a means of reminiscing. Henceforth, this blend of Nerello Mascelese, Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante amongst many others harks back to 2020 and offers nostalgia. Within its unfiltered depths is pure, unadulterated energy. Stampeding from the bottle are an array of excitably fresh red fruit aromas, ripe and ready for battle. However, it hints at a more serious character; wild mountain herbs and violet-hued flowers suggest a contemplative nature. In spite of these aromatic twists, the incessant vitality of this wine cannot be denied. Cleansing crunches of minerality showcase that volcanic mirth, lengthening and focusing that lively finish.

Anna Martens, co-founder of the winery, is a formally trained oenologist from Adelaide. She was on a direct path to Super-Tuscan production before meeting her now-husband, Eric Narioo, who is a household name of natural viticulture. He is MD of the incredibly successful wine importing company ‘Les Caves de Pyrene’ and is responsible for the erection of a myriad of natural wine bars in London. The couple traversed through southern France, exploring the philosophies of many influential natural wine-makers. Consequently, Anna’s fascination was immediate; together they sought a region that would challenge them and landed upon the unknown terraces of Mt. Etna. ‘Vino di Anna’ is a small, family wine estate, situated high on these slopes near the village of Solicchiata. The black, decomposed lava or the iron-rich red clay soils here help to create a beautiful uniqueness. These are truly terroir-driven wines.

Vino di Anna ‘Vendredi 13’ – demonstrative of this winery’s unceasingly experimental nature, illuminating the iron-clad grip of Mother Earth. They happened upon a stalwart thunder-clap; preening energy that shall grip and shake one’s shoulders.
