The 2020 Rosato Chiar'Otto is a much deeper and darker red than you’d expect from a Chiaretto Rosato. This impresses with an intense bouquet of wild strawberries, stone dust and rosy florals. It’s soft in texture with medium-bodied weight and a pleasantly sweet display of red berries and inner herbal tones. A vivid echo of cherry pits lingers, along with residual acids that keep the expression juicy, almost salty and refreshing. This captivating blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara and Sangiovese is sure to win a lot of hearts. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2021)

Light, vivid peach skin. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh red berries, pit fruits, orange zest and honeysuckle. Silky in texture and lively in style, offering incisive strawberry, nectarine and blood orange flavors that deepen through the midpalate. Shows excellent clarity and repeating florality on an impressively long finish that leaves a subtle fennel note behind. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, June 2021)

Shimmering salmon skin. Powerful cherry, raspberry, pit fruit and lavender aromas, along with blood orange and succulent herb flourishes. Stains the palate with mineral-accented red berry, bitter cherry, white peach, orange pith and floral pastille flavors that show sharp delineation and spicy lift. In a powerful style, but it comes off lithe and precise. Shows powerful thrust on an impressively long, mineral-tinged finish that echoes the peach and blood orange notes.

The 2020 Etna Rosato lifts up wonderfully fresh and perfumed, offering notes of sweet peach and white smoke backed by honeyed florals and wedges of candied lime. It’s silky-smooth and round yet spry, washing nuances of ripe pear and nectarine across a core of saturating saline-minerality. There’s simply so much going on here for a Rosato as the 2020 punches well above its class, finishing incredibly long yet juicy, and fizzling out to hints of sour citrus and cheek-puckering green apple.

Diaphanous orange-pink. Bright and sharply focused on the nose, displaying red berry, nectarine and orange zest aromas, plus floral and mineral overtones. Fresh strawberry and blood orange flavors show very good depth and are braced by a sharpening jolt of juicy acidity. The floral note repeats on the lively finish, which lingers with very good tenacity. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, June 2021)

Limpid orange. Mineral-accented blood orange, strawberry, floral and succulent herb scents show fine definition and pick up a spicy nuance with air.
