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! — 9 months 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. — 10 months 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

From Jeroboam. Medium ruby with juicy acidity, tactile tannins, and loads of black cherry jolly rancher, blackberry, plum skin, and spice. Matured in steel for one year. Biodynamic. — 9 months ago

Nice blend from this Oregon winery with Washington state sourced grapes. Still holding its own and drinking decently after 17 years.  — a year 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. — 7 years ago

南西側標高900mあたりの畑というなんとも気になるスペックのネレッロマスカレーゼ100。

ハーブやいかにも火山性な火薬、火打ち石感。
透明感に溢れながらもダークチェリーやドライフルーツ、醤油っぽい香り。
アーシーな雰囲気もあって、どこかりんごみたいな香りも。
言葉に置き換えるのが難しいほどの複雑味と多面性。
クリスマスだったので、チキンと食べたが、やっぱりあんまり合わなかったなぁ。
合わせるならローストビーフかな？ — 9 months ago

Back at Arcane after a year+. Dinner was excellent as always- the tasting menu seemed like a best of with all of their classic dishes. The wine picked by our Som was exactly as he explained-starts juicy but with time it opened up and got more complex. — 10 months ago

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