'Crasa Contrada' Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese 2017

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

Contrada Sciaranuova Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese 2016

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 — 6 years ago

Rosso di Contrada Nero d'Avola

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

Passopisciaro

Contrada Porcaria Etna Rosso 2016

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

Tenute Nicosia

Contrada Monte San Nicolo Etna Bianco Carricante 2018

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! — a year ago
