Calderara Sottana Etna Rosso Nerello Cappuccio Nerello Mascalese 2019

Great to have an Etna wine from time to time. I have read in the past that this is like an Italian Burgundy and I agree in many respects. Medium weight, earthy with bags of minerality, ultra savoury with a lovely red fruited perfume. 100% Nerello Mascalese. We have fond memories of visiting Sicily (including Etna) approx 7 or 8 years ago with Peter Scudamore-Smith MW. — 4 days ago

We very much agree Bob. The complexity and diversity on the slopes of Mt Etna expresses by especially Nerello Mascalese is amazing.

Etna Bianco Carricante 2024

Flavorsome, oak free Carricante from Sicily’s Mt Etna. The 2024 displays an engaging light straw appearance, aromas and flavors of citrus and green apple, a crisp, sur lie enhanced, medium body that delivers an energetic lasting finish. — 14 days ago

Prephylloxera La Vigna di Don Peppino Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese Nerello Cappuccio 2021

Etna: Poured into a decanter about an hour prior to service; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2021 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears and some fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with Bing cherry, Asian five spice, porchini, oregano, crushed gravel and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Another stunner from this incredible, own-rooted parcel in the Calderara Sottana contrada featuring vines over 140 years old. Insane. Drink now with some air and through 2041. — a month ago

Nice Cabernet and showing some good development w/ only 5 yrs in bottle. Better things still ahead. Plus a point or two in another 7-8 yrs.

Really enjoyed this one. Took a bit to open up, but worth the wait. Burgandy-like but with less restraint and that lovely volcanic earth. Would definitely buy again. — 3 months ago
