'a Rina Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese - Nerello Cappuccio 2024

Hard to distinguish from a Pinot Noir. Maybe a little earthier. Leather, cassis, pomegranate, hint of tar. — 11 days ago

San Lorenzo Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese - Nerello Cappuccio 2022

Really enjoyed this one. Took a bit to open up, but worth the wait. Burgandy-like but with less restraint and that lovely volcanic earth. Would definitely buy again. — a month ago

Same, but I thought the aromatics were spectacular.

Pietra Marina Etna Bianco Superiore Carricante 2015

このワインを飲むのは2回目で最後の一本。

半年ほど前に飲んだ個体に比べて、こっちの方が明らかにフレッシュで熟成感が少ない。
前回同様に、黄桃や枇杷のような黄色果実に、カモミール、ペトロール、ライムストーン、ホワイトペッパーなどの後に、岩清水、レモンなどの爽やかな清涼感と芯のある骨格。

一本目が熟成感が強かっただけに、心配したが、こちらの方が美味しくて良かった。

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. — 5 months 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. — 5 months ago

Mt Etna is the new Burgundy of the Mediterranean. Check out this story we produce a few months back of Terre Nere, crafting beautiful expressive vibrant yet complex wines from single sites on My Etna using Nerello Mascalese. https://youtu.be/iCKe8UoZ-Jk?si=-6EAUc9EvM-Nl1Uc

Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese 2022

Nice acidity, brownish tint, very much like a gamay or pn. This is a food versatile wine; I had it with a pork chop Milanese; would be great with grilled chicken. Vibrant fruit, some pepper and flint. — 8 months ago

I heard of buying wine futures but I’ve never heard of drinking wine from the future.

One thing I dislike about Delectable is if you put the vintage in before the review, it goes blank or puts in what it thinks the pic tells it.
