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. — 18 days 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. — 15 days ago

An excellent white from Sicily. Pale yellow with aromas of minerality, lemon zest, and apple. On the bud, it’s has a nice full body with citrus flavors of lemon and grapefruit. Finish is long. — a month ago
