Sentiero delle Gerle Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese
Etna, Catania, Sicily, Italy
Sometimes you have a rough week… but the wine you decide to open at the end of it is one of the only bright spots.
Perfect balance. Plenty of ripe dark fruit. But also, darkness. Leather. Earth.

2019 opened November 2023. Cranberries and strawberries on the nose. Light red berries on the front. Tannins are a bit light and they make the wine a bit watery. The volcanic minerality kicks in on the palate and it ends with a nice tart pumicey finish.
