"The 2022 Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana is intense and spicy in the glass. Crushed ashen stones and grilled herbs give way to dried black cherries and spiced orange peels. Luxuriously smooth up front, this finds a lovely lift through a core of tantalizing acidity as saline minerals and the onset of grippy tannins firm up its ripe wild berry fruits. This tapers off with tremendous length and concentration, leaving a youthfully structured feel and a pleasantly tart sensation that lingers on and on." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana is pale ruby with mahogany hues. A penetrating bouquet, with notes of rich ripe fruit and spice. Structured, full and complex, with rich tannic feel." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
