Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

From the slopes of Monte Gorna, south-east side of Mount Etna, made with the local grape Carricante, medium lemon color with aromas of stone fruit, citrus and honey floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple and pear with slight citrus and vanilla notes. Good acidity, balance and structure, medium+ finish ending with salty mineral character. Very Nice! — 10 months ago

From Le Volpe e l’uva, this is not as good an expression of nerella mascalese as what comes out of a place like Passopisciaro, but you can’t beat it for the price. Italy in a glass… — 4 years ago

This wine is a pure expression of the 🌋 terroir of Cru Etna. Amazing aromatics combine with burnt cherry and dust. I haven’t met a Cru Etna I didn’t love. — 8 years ago

The 2021 vintage is much better than the 2020 in this wine. Classic Etna Rosso with elegant mouthfeel and balanced acidic finish. Light red wine that is a good alternative for Burgundy. This Etna’s fruit is more restrained but still present and more Burgundy than New World in style. — a year ago

Agree with @Chris MacLean : peppery. I’ve not had many wines like this, and loved the expansion of my experience. — 3 years ago

Loved this red. Super tannic and dry. So robust you almost need to pair it with food. Smells like bright fruits (strawberry, raspberry). Would love to have again — 4 years ago

Same grape same winemaking. Spicier more red fruited than the Pianodario. Stemmy. Just... different. More tannin? Can’t decide which site I like better. Excellent study in terrior — 5 years ago

Deep translucent ruby. Salty, smoky nose with strong iron/blood notes. Medium bodied with very nice grip. Pure red fruit. Good length. Clean and fresh and juicy. Balanced. Not as good as Etna pt 1 but still, love this style — 6 years ago
