James Suckling, 93 Points
"Red and black berries and a persistent underlay of dry, ash-like minerals, as you might expect from grapes grown on the slopes of a volcano. Medium-bodied with a savory flavor profile and fine tannins that blend nicely with the lingering minerals at the end. The real Etna deal here. Drink or hold."
Winemaker Notes:
"Bright ruby red color with lively shades of purple. It afford typically mineral, ripe and elegant notes that unfold alternating intense and distinct hints of blackcurrants, prune jam, black cherries, licorice, pepper and wilted violet. Well-balanced and harmonious, it develops with energy and liveliness; it is rich, warm and refined, with suave tannins of extraordinary lineage; The noteworthy lingering aroma is impressive as well as the rewarding juicy finish."
Alcohol: 13.5%
