Medium body, beautiful quaffing. Not as volcanic or smoky as most productions from Etna but a good partner wine for stews. — 6 years ago

So light in color I thought something was wrong. Upon tasting, nope, it's all right. The minerality and zinginess from those volcanic soils shines through. This starts as bright fresh cherries with a little cinnamon stick, dried flowers, and earth, but finishes with brilliant complexity, waves of floral and fruit and bitter herb flavors. Just a really cool wine. — 7 years ago

2011. Earthy. Ashy. Smokey. Everything you want from a volcanic wine. With tons of acid and tannins. Stands up to food like Tyson yet elegant to drink by itself. Love it! — 8 years ago

Volcanic velvet. It’s hard to say more about this gorgeous balance and elegant roundness. After so many years, this 2002 vintage shows how skilled as a vigneron is Salvo Foti. — 7 years ago

Candied cherry, some herbs and volcanic rock notes. Very dense and hard to read now. — 7 years ago

Super unique. Rustic. Muddy. Volcanic. Low tannins. High acid. Worth drinking if just to learn what a wine can be. — 7 years ago

Don't be fooled by the recent rush of French wines to grace my palette. Those who know me know that I like to keep a Toscana or a Brunello around for good measure. But then @Kyle Harvey put the hard sell on Etna wines so I gave it a shot. From this point on, I will forever be on the lookout for more. The volcanic terroir and sun soaked mountainside make for the perfect climate to produce an exceptional wine. Comprised of 80% Mascalese and 20% Cappucio, the wine is remarkably well structured with loads of nuance. Fruits abound and silky tannins make this #Etna a banger. — 7 years ago

Strange for an Etna Rosso, but delicious. Don't get nearly the volcanic minerality that I'd expect, but do get some red fruit and some gamay-like funk. — 7 years ago

Ashy volcanic, bright acidity, red bright fruit on the nose. Med body, med p acid, delicate but dense texture, sour red plum on the end, hint of minerality and savoryness on the second palate. Paired with octo with bonemarrow fusili. I can see this can goes well with octo. — 8 years ago

This one needs a little time to open but after that you'll get aromas of cherries and just a hint of vanilla. Quite fruity with nice tannins, after thirty minutes you'll start to taste the dark fruits and volcanic herbs, if those kind of herbs even exist. — 8 years ago

Smooth palate, subtle aromas of Pinot Noir from Germany or Loire Valley but it's not, it's Nero d'Avola and Frappato on volcanic soils in Sicily. Simply amazing. — 10 years ago
