IDDA Etna Rosso Nerello Blend

Mostly Nerello Mascalese with a splash of Nerello Cappuccio, Ruby red color with aromas of ripe berry fruits, spice and sweet notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and plum with herbs, caramel and hints of citrus rind. Medium+ finish, fine tannins ending with fruit, spice and sweet nutty earthy notes. Nice.

Good value. Harvest dinner wine.

I found this wine delicious. Lithe, integrated, good structure. Notes of cardamom, orange, cranberry and rhubarb. Some white pepper and good minerality. Bright acids. I really enjoyed it.

Brett. Quite oxidized.

Third vintage Nerello from the southside of Etna, a joint venture between Gaja and Graci. A bit restricted in the nose. Fruitdriven, very elegant and silky. Soft tannins. Adored it big time!

Light color and body, but packed with flavor. Tart cherry, tart, earth. Excellent tannin and structure and finish.

Third bottle in same amount of years. Peaking! What a great wine. Nerello at it’s best!

The Gaja and Graci combo wine from etna! Very fun. Really enjoyed, though at this point it still needs a good bit of air. Very nice nose. Perfect pairing with burgers - just the right mix of fruit, tannins, and acid.

Light bodied and acidic. Bit of a bite. Some good red fruits coming through. Nice aperitif.

Restricted on the nose but made it up big time in taste. Very elegant with deeper layers for which all my senses were needed. Good Nerello wine!
