Dusty and floral, the 2021 Uve Bianche Versant Nord lifts with a savory blend of dried flowers, peaches complicated and wet stone. It's round and soothing with ripe orchard fruits and tactile mineral tones. This finishes clean with a peppery-herbal tinge. The Versant Nord Uve Bianche is a blend of Minella, Carricante, Catarratto, Grecanico and Inzolia. (Eric Guido, Vinous, September 2023)

Innovative (unique?) blend of Nerello Mascalese, Grenache, Grecanico, Carricante. Sour cherry, raspberry, volcanic minerality. — 2 years ago

My last bottle of this beauty (123/1000 in NYC). I gifted the others to friends :) Richly sumptuous as I remembered - deep dark fruits, vanilla and dry earthiness. Full and delicious. With a quick orecchiette in prosciutto, shallots, peppers, parmesan and lemon. — a month ago

A little serious. Some slightly oxidized wide notes and a forest floor gnarliness. Some tang and rich finish. Good stuff but perhaps not a perfect bottle — 8 months ago

Very bold style of Nerello! Great fruit, nice floral component, light tannin. This will only get better with some time in bottle. — 2 years ago

Loved this, good tannins, leathery volcanic action but also nice red fruits with a slight funk

I dislike this vintage in burgundy. Luckily Aubert was able to sort out the kinks in 2014 — 6 months ago

The 2020 Nerello Mascalese Pirrera is delicate and coy in the glass, showing just nuances of rose and black cherry contrasted by dusty earth. Silky and refined, it washes across the palate with a pure blend of red and wild blueberry fruit. A mineral staining adds tension toward the close. It finishes structured and long with a citrus concentration to balance as tart raspberry and sage slowly taper off. Patience will be required to tame this structured Etna Rosso.
