Etna, Catania, Sicily, Italy
Nice effort! A cross between Burgundy and Barolo with a dash of Grenache. The more Etna Rosso I drink, the better my Italian gets!

Very light--reminiscent of gamay--with nice red fruit, some earthiness, and some tannins that grip. Good acidity makes it tasty and refreshing. Maybe a hint of anise? Reasonably priced too.

Delicious! Black Pepper, gravel, and red fruit. Light in body but full of flavor.

In honor of opening night of Rogue One a beautiful Benanti "Etna Rosso"...red cherry pith, licorice and gorgeous fresh flowers, sappy acidity and firm youthful tannin. Great QPR and versatile across a wide spectrum of cuisine.

What a surprise! A fun food friendly wine for easy day drinking and a surprising dinner date bevvy. Ruby red color matched my nail polish and the initial nose reminded me of photo processing chemicals - but give it few and it evolves. A rose and rhubarb flavor, super dry tannins - nice with some sweet and savory poultry aka James Beard quail style. Could even be served chilled like a red Sancerre after it opens up. Fun to try a Mt. Etna wine!

Feb 23rd, 2016I wasn't a fan of this on night one. It was slightly reduced and had a muddled, confused midpalate, no nose to speak of, and tasted like a paltry poulsard. But, showing again that even entry level Etna rossos need a bit of time, on night two this has blossomed into beautiful typicity. Red fruit warmed in old balsamic vinegar, mountain herbs, and gritty tannins.
