On a blind tasting I might have pegged it for Barbaresco for it's cherry, dates, firm acidity, and wisp of rose on the nose and finish. Well integrated oak with extra toast. (18 mths in barriques ). But this is not Nebbiolo but a marvelous Nerello Mascalese with some minerality evoking the volcanic soil from where it sprang to life. Soft tannins too. — 12 years ago

2010 - Transparent red as you might expect from a classy Etna Rosso DOC like this. Extreme coherence between nose and taste ends with an elegant red, supported by a perfect structure. A real bargain at €15 at the winery.
