Best red if the trip, a Franchetti from Pascopissciaro, a round bodied nerello mascalese from the cellar at Cave Ox in Solicchiata on the north slope of Etna. Would be even better with a few years — 3 months ago

My favorite Nerellos: Contrada from Passopiscario. This is is a heavier Nerello with red and black fruit. Smokey, earthy, burnt earth, med tannins, good acidity. — 6 months ago

From Le Volpe e l’uva, this is not as good an expression of nerella mascalese as what comes out of a place like Passopisciaro, but you can’t beat it for the price. Italy in a glass… — 5 years ago

I believe that Carricante has the potential to be this good, but I can't think of a white wine from Etna I've found this beautiful. — 9 years ago

Set out to try a Sicilian wine for the first time (that I can remember) at my favorite restaurant in NYC and it did not dissapoint! Notes of cherry, red fruit, and smoke. Surprisingly mineral finish for a red, incredibly dry! Fantastic! — 4 months ago

2020 spring. Really lovely - it has that thruline to Burgundy, but with more overt sour cherry, more baked spice and ash. It’s be fun to compare with the Passopisciaro and Alta Mora versions — 6 years ago

Deep translucent ruby. Salty, smoky nose with strong iron/blood notes. Medium bodied with very nice grip. Pure red fruit. Good length. Clean and fresh and juicy. Balanced. Not as good as Etna pt 1 but still, love this style — 7 years ago

Nose of black cherry and pine straw. On the palate the flavors are the same, with great depth, structure, and length. This has a gravity that goes beyond most any Etna Rosso I’ve tasted. Phenomenal, and has years if not decades ahead of it... — 9 years ago

2014 is 70% PV, 30% Cesanese d’Affile. His Tête de cuvée. rich ripe unctuous on the nose. really extracted. It’s good, it’s a bit hot but it also needs time. black fruits it’s well made- just not my thing. — 5 years ago

100% Petit Verdot matured in new French Oak. Cedary Harmonious and Delicious. Only 3500 bottles made so it is a rarity. Not cheap at 120 Euros. None would get to Australia I would think. Excellent Wine. — 9 years ago
