Serra della Contessa Etna Rosso Nerello Blend 2012

Served blind . Arrogantly said after a quick smell & taste, Burgundy from 2018 , high quality village wine. WRONG! Beautiful flavors of cherry, earth and mineral. Pepper red fruits, herbs and mouthwatering acid attacked my palate. Still has structure to endure for years. — 7 days ago

Etna Bianco Carricante 2024

My first carricante. Floral citrus nose, pale yellow, complex minerality with a perfect sour/sweet finish. Thanks, Costco. This is a top-drawer white. — 2 months ago

Very nice. This wine is all mineral. Light citrus fruits, but what I notice is that volcanic soil. Mild reductive notes. High acid. Good length. — 4 days ago

Palmento Vino Rosso Red Blend 2024

This wine is medium-dark ruby in the glass. I found the nose to be subdued, but notes of ripe cherries and redcurrant berries came through. I’d like to say that I noticed the effect of the chestnut barrels used, but they were half as large as the oak casks. My olfactory sense isn’t all that sharp, anyway. The palate is medium weight and a bit tart, showing raspberry and currant flavors. The tannins are medium firm and the acidity is bright. The medium finish carries tart fruit after the sip. — 2 months ago

Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese Blend 2021

Etna 🌋displayed here in it's most minimalistic version but the flavors are especially candid of it's distinct terroirs. I need to try some of the single vineyard versions after this entry level! — 23 days ago
