Exemplary excellent full bodied carricante by winemaker Salvo Foti at I Vigneri in Milo, Sicily where we visited in 2022. Herbs, citrus, honey, saline. — 7 months ago
I probably drink too many Etna wines, so for a change here’s a Sicilian wine that is NOT from the volcano. It’s from the center of the island, near the city of Caltagirone, and it’s an unusual blend of two expected grapes (Nero d’Avola and Frappato) and one fairly unexpected one (Alicante Bouschet). Grown in dense vineyards planted with head-trained bush vines at about 1000 feet above sea level, this wine has a deep garnet color and a stony core surrounded by blackberry, licorice, and black cherry fruit. At once ripe and chiseled with acidity, this is a perfect expression of Sicily in many ways. It bears the i Vigneri stamp of consultant Salvo Foti, a good sign if there ever was one on Sicilian bottles. — 2 years ago
One of the most wonderful white wines. — 2 months ago
去年の年始に19を飲んだのだが、気になり再飲。
結構、甘さが強調されて、強い印象だったが、柔らかな甘さにベリーやちょいローズ、紅茶というかオリエンタルな感じの華やか。紫蘇っぽい綺麗な酸も。
ビンテージの違いなのか、経年なのかわからないが、しなやかで上品。
美味しかった。
オムレツの上にだし醤油をかけたアスパラのサラダにあったのは面白かったし、わかめの酢の物の、酢にはあまりピンと来なかったがワカメの味わいにはぴったり。 — 4 months ago

Classic Mount Etna Rosso - volcanic minerals, Mediterranean fruits, sea air. We visited this winery last year. A gem of world viticulture. — 4 months ago
Soft nose, ultra light on the mouth with bursts of fruit and light citrus — 2 years ago
Wowow. Salmon-ruby colored, packed with red fruit, pink-green just ripe strawberries, wild berry, and zingy minerality and acid. But with a leesy, buttery quality reminiscent of great rosé champagne. Intoxicating combination, leading with the nose. Excellent texture and mouthfeel, and a long finish. Great stuff; some of the top rosé, anywhere. — 3 years ago

This wine is so good—need to get my hands on some more. Waxy, vibrant, lemon curd, apricot, white flowers, seashell, smoke. Chablis by way of the Mediterranean — 2 months ago
