Light, floral aroma, hint of citrus and pear, goes well with a white fish dish. — 5 days 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.

I am always curious to taste more Minnella
This wine is rich and mineral
It would go great with swordfish
Honestly not my style
I find it to horizontal
I prefer a bit more freshness and verticality
Although it is a wine that reveals the territory that comes from — 2 months ago

Another solid vintage of this interesting Rose’. Light salmon/peach color. Aromas of apricot and grapefruit. Flavors of ripe pear, lemon/lime and tropical fruits with a slight green pepper note. Touch of salinity on the finish. Pleasant light effervescence tickles the tongue. Chill it prior to opening. Fun and refreshing. — 9 months ago
