Terre Siciliane Nerelo Mascalese 2016

Peter Sultan
9.1

Don’t let the light red color & initial pour fool you- this is Volcano terroir, so builds up intensity & flavor as evolves. I never tire of Etna, even the duds interest me. This isn’t one of them. Medium body light, pure sunshine lava style. Remarkably—pure. Savio Soares importer who else — 8 days ago

Orange oil, white flower and white truffle nose. Still vibrant. Orange, almond skin, with a long pleasantly saline and slightly bitter finish. First time trying this one and I really like it. — 5 days ago

Sounds good @Larry Frierson We should do an Etna/Southern Italian wine dinner. I've been enjoying both the reds and whites lately.

Yes. Have you had Terre Nere pre-phylloxera red?

Wow @Larry Frierson , that's funny. I opened a bottle of 2008 Terre Nere Santo Spirito last night! Haven't posted it yet because I wanted to see how it developed over night.

Crunchy style Nerello. Was surprised to learn there was 100% new oak on this. Definitely noticed the oak was present but it was integrated decently well. Big boy though. Def needs a good bit of air. — 11 hours ago

Santo Spirito Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese 2008

Rick K
9.3

Tar, underbrush, anise, rose, raspberry. Bracing but not aggressive tannins. Really nice. Not as exciting the second night, which leads me to think it's at or near its peak. I've got more, so let's do this @Larry Frierson ! — 4 days ago

Grotte Alte Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Frappato Nero d'Avola 2012

9.1

Sweet cherry, iron, grippy tannins. Slightly softer and sweeter the second night, but still relatively wound up. Perplexing wine given my experience with her style. Not sure when to try the next bottle of this. — 10 days ago
