Contrada Rampante Sicilia Nerello Mascalese

Etna juice

Stunner of a wine, with crushed stones forest berries and dried flowers. Incredibly mineral and bright.

Good god. Crushed berries liquid stone and dried flowers. Wish I had bought a case when I was at the winery.

A superb and excellent example of what can be done in Sicily - complex, length and finesse with a unique character

17/20 (92/100)

A hint of spiciness. Or is it the Sicilian heat that I’m tasting? Very tasty.

Let this breathe several hours. This wine is overrated in my view, and very overpriced. Very acidic and astringent, with no body. Peppery finish. If this were a $20 wine I might feel differently. Other Etna Rossos for less money are superior.

Nice juicy red berries with some ash and crushed rock but softer rounder edges than their Contradas and perhaps passed through adolescence.

Beautifull wine.
