This has all the traits that make Etna Reds so attractive. Medium bodied , red fruited with pronounced minerality. Vines planted on the pure Ellittico lava flow terroir. Predominantly Nerello Mascalese. As many tasters previously have said of Etna Rosso, a hypothetical blend of Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir. I will leave my last bottle for a couple of years. — 2 months ago
Opened about an hour prior to taking dinner at Via Farina. The 2015 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. No obvious signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of powerful, dark and red fruits: black cherry, ripe strawberries, horse blanket, red flowers, new leather, black tea, exotic spices and dry earth. A touch of VA. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This is a beautiful, powerful example of Terre Nere BdM with the best parts of the 2015 vintage on full display. Bold and balanced. Lovely now and wouldn’t hesitate to open one if you’ve been patiently waiting. A solid pairing with a variety of central Italian fair. Drink now with some air and through 2035. — 5 months ago
Blend of blend of 60% Carricante, 25% Catarratto, 10% Grecanico and 5% Minnella, aged in French oak for 10 months. Pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits adding honeysuckle blossom. On the palate flavors of apple, apricot and lemon citrus with creamy vanilla wrapped in generous acidity, long finish ending with wet stone minerality. Nice! — 3 months ago
