Earthy, cherry. Light style but some tannins predict a few yrs ageable. — 8 years ago
Surprisingly beautiful bouquet at this price point almost like a Barolo, decent finish mid body — 9 years ago
枯葉や腐葉土のような熟成したアーシーな香り。
飲んでみると瑞々しく、滑らかだが、バルサミコや苺系のフルーツもあるし、紅茶っぽい感じもある。そして、ミネラル。
正に飲み頃といったところかな。 — 3 years ago
Smokey funky barnyard mellows quickly full — 4 years ago
Interesting Pinot Noir from Sicily. The Calabretta vineyards are located in the back volcanic soils on Mt. Etna's north slope. Calabretta is know more for its Etna Rosso , an elegant wine know throughout Italy. This Pinot Nero is so different from its Burgundy namesake that you might think it not Pinot Noir at all. Much darker in the glass, with a ruggedness not expected of Pinot. Still a bit young, I would give it an hour or two in a decanter. This will go well with most grilled red meats. For the Pinot fans, venture south and try this Sicilian version.

Floral without the associated sweetness. Very lemony, melon notes. Soft finish. — 9 years ago
Holiday dinner on Park Avenue Winter's last night. Unbelievable purity and freshness from the great Mr. Soldera, and very funky/rustic Etna Rosso from Calabretta- very a-typical for the region but a lot of fun to drink! — 10 years ago
Floral nose. White pepper, wax, salt on the palette. Rich. — 4 years ago
2020/3/30-4/1. This starts off a bit rasiny on the nose - it’s labeled at 15% abv. The palate has some balancing acidity and is fairly dry, but I could do with less ripeness. I don’t remember this or Calabretta in general being so hefty, so maybe it’s the 2007 heat. The raisins also do calm down a bit on subsequent days, but I’d like to try the next vintage — 4 years ago
Greco/malvasia blend per wine clerk. medium body, some hay and cut grass notes, grapefuit and lemon on the tongue, lingering acid on the finish. Nice — 8 years ago
