The 2012 Etna Rosso is a real beauty. When considering an Etna red wine you often need to think about volume. Nerello Mascalese is not a grape that naturally offers exuberant or opulent fruit tones. Instead, it shows its strength and quality in the way it wraps thickly over the palate an...
This is a near-term Etna red wine. 本酒款酿酒葡萄资料ABOUT GRAPE 修士奈莱洛-玛斯卡斯(Nerello Cappuccio - Mascalese) 修士奈莱洛-玛斯卡斯(Nerello Cappuccio - Mascalese)是一种酿酒原料,由西西里岛的红葡萄品种修士奈莱洛和玛斯卡斯混合而成。它是西西里岛东海岸优质红葡萄酒的主要成分,并且长期以来一直...
The 2011 Etna Rosso Koinè is an extremely ripe wine with cooked aromas of dark plum, red apple and blackberry. There are some notes of dark mineral and grilled herb, but the bouquet is muddled. All that ripe fruit is backed by a large dose of oak spice that has not fully integrated....
The 2011 Etna Rosso Puritani is a focused and balanced wine that offers a pretty window onto volcanic winemaking. The nose opens to wild berries, dried rose potpourri, ash and crushed mineral. This medium-bodied red shows tight tannic firmness and a touch of acidic sharpness that adds energy ...
The 2015 Etna Rosso is mostly Nerello Mascalese with some Nerello Mantellato. Old vines range from 40 to 140 years in age. This is the estate's blended red. It does not see fruit selected from a single Contrada. Instead, this wine offers a panoramic expression with fruit from variou...
This wine is released a few years later than its peers. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the aging trajectory of red wine from Etna. The 2012 Etna Rosso Aetneus is a bold and powerful expression with ample muscle power and determination that drives it from the back. It shows dark frui...
Another fabulous entry-level wine, the 2009 Etna Rosso caresses the palate with sweet, red cherries, flowers, mint, licorice and spices. Deceptively medium in body, the Rosso shows the more feminine side of these indigenous red grapes, but with plenty of grip on the finish. This Nerello Masc...
The Idda 2019 Etna Rosso shows depth, length and everything in between. This 2019 vintage benefits from a long and slow growing season, just what the native red grapes of Etna prefer. The spring season saw a lot of rain for ample water reserves, and the weather then transitioned to a dr...
Sporting one of my all-time favorite labels in Italian wine (with an etching of an exploding Etna), the 2018 Etna Rosso is a mid-weight red with smoky and tarry aromas that intermingle with red fruit, cassis and toasted almond. You also get blue flower and wild rose, but of course, ...
The 2013 Etna Rosso Orphéus (made with 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio from 50-year-old vines) is a dark and textured red wine that perhaps offers a little less definition in terms of the bouquet. All the elements are there—berry fruit, spice, smoke and tar—but both...
