Grotte Alte Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Frappato Nero d'Avola 2016

2016. Sour cherry, earth, leather, and a hint of VA. Paired perfectly with local charcuterie and the final round of the Masters. — 2 days ago

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。

Passopisciaro Sicilia Nerello Mascalese 2022

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! — 2 months ago

After tasting next to other organic/low intervention wines, the structure and finesse of this wine becomes more evident. Smooth red and dark fruit on the palate with good but no overwhelming acidity. Drinks like a wine from a colder climate. — a month 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. — 2 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
