A little break from Tuscany. Single vineyard nerello mascalese from mt etna. Really has it together—juicy raspberry offset by savory game, baked earth, saline and herbal components.

The 2021 vintage is much better than the 2020 in this wine. Classic Etna Rosso with elegant mouthfeel and balanced acidic finish. Light red wine that is a good alternative for Burgundy. This Etna’s fruit is more restrained but still present and more Burgundy than New World in style.

Disappointing expensive Etna Rosso. Very subtle fruit and a dark fruit flavor. I expect more cherry and fruit from an Etna Rosso.

What a beauty! Cherry, pine, firm tannins, light body, lovely minerality which reflects the vineyard. This grows at 2500’ asl.
