Rovittello Etna Rosso Nerello Cappuccio Blend 2012

My last bottle of Rovitello! I’ll definitely reorder some more. This one is showing its age. Color is now a brownish red. Aromas of plum, tobacco, blueberry, and anise. Smooth with a richness and long finish. Some stewed fruits with a spice note upon tasting. — 3 days ago

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. — 8 months ago

Alta Mora Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese 2019

Popped and poured; enjoyed over a 90 minute period. No formal notes. Slightly deeper in color than the Benanti enjoyed before and there’s a bit more depth in general when comparing the two. Ripe strawberries and cherries. Savory. Good structure. Drinking well now but this has the stuffing to mature gracefully over the next decade. — 3 years ago
