Wow. The great vintage really stands out with this Cru, aromas of earth and rose petals jump out of the Zalto, the palette is savory as well with tobacco and mature cherries. Man need to find more of this Contrada from this vintage. 🌋🍷

8/2/16 how can you go wrong with mt etna? Cherry, a bit thin but playful and delightful. Wine night at red onion!
Long live nerello cappuccino and nerello mascalese!
