Wonderful Etna Rosso. Plenty of red fruit, high minerality, very fine bones and tannins. Improves wonderfully in the glass. A great nerrelo mascalese (90 pct)

Refined and structured. Bright and elegant, opens up to darker cherry, tobacco, rose petal. A winner from Mt. Etna

Really nice Nerello Mascalese blend from Mt. Etna. Bright fruit, smooth tannins, good minerality.

Dark, savory streak of volcanic minerality. Nerello freaky was. Really dig this. Nice upside. Rebuy.

2012. Fresh and crunchy but with enormous underlying woodsy complexity. Love. #screwratings

A gem I don’t want anyone else to know about. Buying a case and putting it away, a light red for people who don’t like light reds, and far more interesting than most of what those who do will drink instead.

Beautiful, amazing what nerello can do with a little age. Very elegant, supple yet still with grip.
