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.

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.
