Very clean , mineraly and slight saline .. Grapes basically grown in a volcano which is dope — 9 years ago
Amazing wine. Super young: I had half the bottle breathing for 24 hours, which improved the already impressive wine. This thing is going to be a monster wine after a few years in a dark, cool place. — 10 years ago
Like biting into a delicious piece of citrus volcano lava rock, excellent FAB in this 2012. Tenuta Terre Nerre hits another one out the park with this €16 gem - nice QPR. Paired great with crab cucumber salad. — 10 years ago

This Etna rosso is quite nice, stony, so much volcano mineral ash! — 11 years ago
Smoky volcano rocks, fruit darker than some, but it has that unique Etna texture. Green highlights in the aromatics. Superlative wine — 11 years ago
Etna DOC Bianco Superiore, 2009, 12,5%. Bottle tasted in July 2014. Made with Carricante grapes grown on the edges of Etna volcano, and you can really taste the minerals. Perhaps this wine is not for everyone, but I really like the unusual taste. — 11 years ago
Very mild rose - paired nicely with a French triple creme Brie called Moon Dust, which had flakes of volcano dust in the rind. Would recommend both the cheese and vino! — 12 years ago
The aromas explode out of the glass like the volcano from where these grapes are grown . Ash, spice, leather jacket and cinnamon grab your nose that is reminiscent of Moe leading Curly or Larry around a room. In the mouth a palate that matches its nose. The creaminess that only true old vines can deliver. A complete package of weightless power and concentration. If I had a nit to pick it was that after 3 hours a hint of alcohol creeped in. — 8 years ago
Very sweet and fruity! Perfect for warm summer evenings!

Natural volcano juice from #frankcornelissen 👌 — 10 years ago
Yes. Poured from a magnum, this wine is intensely earthy on the palate and reflects its fossil-rich, mineralic soil at the base of a volcano. Slightly gritty, having the characteristic muskiness one might expect from a Mourvèdre heavy wine with tons of beautiful Grenache fruit. Ahhh-ha, hush that fuss. — 10 years ago

Volcano wine FTW — 11 years ago
I actually really like this. Volcano are definitely great places for wine. — 12 years ago
good 'erse' wine erupts on Etna: spicy red-berry delicacy powered via the volcano (& the grapes Nerello Mascalese & Nerello Cappuccio) in Tenuta di #Fessina Etna Rosso 'Erse,' toothsome with sublime pumpkin - #Sicily #Italy #WineWednesday — 8 years ago
Tastes like a volcano — 8 years ago
Feel like I'm practically hiking up the volcano while drinking this. Love the authentic terroir that shines through, along with ample red fruits to brighten up the smokiness. — 10 years ago
Spicy and different, maybe due to the volcano? — 10 years ago
Dark fruit nice mouth feel — 10 years ago
pooollll: i can taste the ever so subtle mediterranean mist as it washed over the sun soaked sicilian grapes bursting with the etna minerals

Complex wine. Flowers and witte fruit together with a long finish. Minerals from the volcano dominating finish. — 7 years ago
