Tannins were a bit rough but otherwise incredibly delicious.

Nov 2nd, 2014With Mindy--as usual--underwhelmed. Rather tannic, lacks the transparency the best Etna wines have. New-Worldy. Good, not great and shows little Etna character.

Nov 21st, 2013Wow! Amazing juice. Thx to @Max Kogod for turning me onto this one. By the tawny brick red color, you're thinking Nebbiolo, and there are some shared characteristics with, say, aged Barbaresco. But this is a bit more brooding in temperament. Those volcanic ash soils breed some intense wines. Love this producer!

Apr 10th, 2016Hard to rate since it was very slightly corked. But it had a ton of fruit and quite a lush wine.
