-Il Quadro delle Rose- Feudo di Mezzo Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese

This has all the traits that make Etna Reds so attractive. Medium bodied , red fruited with pronounced minerality. Vines planted on the pure Ellittico lava flow terroir. Predominantly Nerello Mascalese. As many tasters previously have said of Etna Rosso, a hypothetical blend of Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir. I will leave my last bottle for a couple of years.

If you’re not aging your Etna a little bit, you aren’t doing it right…

Vintage 2017 | infanticide, too powerfull tannines, but also blackberries, minerals and a lot of sophistication

corked but even so it tastes good! clearly not what it should be though.

Feudi di Mezzo, Il Quadro Della Rose. Brilliant purple red. Cherry, red currant, barrel toast and butter notes in nose. Dust, rose and cherry fruit leather in mouth, seed bitterness on finish, herb and spice in aftertaste.

The acid and tannins play beautifully together in this wine. Dried red fruits linger in a long long finish. Top notch effort.

These wines are always so great. The only issue with them is we probably all drink them too young.

Good, needs time

Bangin! Tons of red fruit and less blood orange than the other Crus.
