Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Pale straw yellow color with aromas of stone fruit, citrus and herb spice notes. On the palate flavors of apple with slight citrus notes and herb spice. Good acidity, balance and structure, medium+ finish ending with salty mineral character. Very Nice! — 2 months ago

Good, yet not very ‘special’.
Paired it with Ottolenghi’s Orzo Puttanesca. — 4 months ago

Outstanding wine. Minerally and saline. Excellent seafood wine. Not cheap, but shows what Carricante can do on the east slopes of Mt. Etna!! — 4 months ago

2019 is still full of soft, beautiful fruit, alongside gentle smokiness and dust. — 6 months ago

Delicious year after year and great value at $23. Has a restrained dried fruit thing, cherry, raisin, very mineral and elegant. Perfect not-so-serious pizza wine. — 7 months ago

2020. I usually don’t get to the airport early enough to see what’s in the cruvinets behind the terminal bar, but I was really impressed by the “not your usual” selection. Used their app to order an Etna Bianco I hadn’t had before, and was surprised when my drink was delivered. Rosso from the same producer, so I understand the mixup, and very glad because it’s delicious! Good start to my Holiday vacation. — 5 months ago

$24.99 from Litteri’s before a trip to Sicily in January 2023. Drank on 11/11/2023.  Excellent nose. Pine resin. Unripe raspberries, nice funkiness. Forward acid. — 6 months ago

100% Nerello Mascalese. Inky ruby color. Lovely nose of cherry/strawberry, rose petals, fresh herbs and volcanic ash. Vibrant cherry and raspberry fruit flavors with hints of minerals and earth with a nice smokey finish. Fine tannins (but a little tight) and lovely structure and freshness. Nice. Thanks for sharing, Ron B! — 7 months ago

NOSE: barely there…tiniest whiff of red fruit….dried cherry?

TASTE: light bodied, dried cherry and currant, a little clay … nice acidity …. elegant, but a little simple. I like it - but no way worth what I paid. 89. — 3 months ago

I love that the vineyard is a mix of very old, middle aged and young vines. When an old one dies, they plant a young one. One of the best values in Etna Rosso. Mix of black and red fruit, little tannic, smoke and fire on the finish. — 4 months ago

Vintage 2019 | from the rather obscure carricante grape, what an effort! Floral smell, seabreeze! Nice bitters. Bought some for cellaring. — 5 months ago
