Oh how I adore the color and the TASTE of this wine... Pietradolce Nerello Moscalese, fr Mt Etna, Sicily. Notes of black tar, violet & rose petal across the nose. Don't let this pretty soft see through color foul ya, cuz the mouthfeel is all dried cranberry, bright violet, tomato skin & perfectly sliced beef carpaccio. Yum! A #perfectpairing to the Tomato Braised Duroc Pork Shoulder I enjoyed it with tonite.

Harsh nose and way too acidic. Would try again - may've been a bad bottle.

Crisp and refreshing makes me want to dive into un piatto di spaghetti allo scoglio in cartoccio.

Needs time to integrate and settle the tannins. I also wish it had a bit more back palate weight to balance a rigid structure. The NM fruit is beautiful and represents the Etna region well.

Decent but could come from anywhere. Crowd pleaser served chilled.

This has a very intoxicating aroma reminiscent of red fruit and iron. The tart cherries transition into sweeter cherries on the finish. I'm a fan.

Berry herbal mulberry gulper. Crushed stones with spicy red cherries. Crunchy tannins with peppery finish. Nice QPR
