A really fascinating rose blend from Mount Aetna. Has the high acidity and even some minerality that wines on those slopes yield. First thought: like a very light, unsweet version of Cran-grape juice. There’s only a whisper of fruit, maybe some light strawberry, lemon, hibiscus. High acidity and alcohol plus tartness make this a stellar, STELLAR wine. Amazed and can’t wait for more.

All the fruit of a nerello mascalese, with some of the volcanic heat tempered by the rose bottling. Practically disappears on a hot Sunday.

“Rosado” of immense stature and saline intensity, like the mingled sweat of neptune and vulcan locked in passionate sport or tussle.
