Pietradolce Etna Rosso 2023 750ml

100% Nerello Mascalese. Pietradolce Etna Rosso DOC is bright red in color with notes of berries and brushwood. Elegance, minerality, and excellent persistence on the palate.

"The 2023 Etna Rosso Pietradolce is a dark and brooding effort with a whiff of flowery underbrush and ashen stone giving way to crushed black cherry. Silky smooth, it sweeps across the palate with ripe wild berry fruit and a collage of sweet spice, all guided by juicy acidity. The 2023 leaves a saturation of primary concentration and a tinge of tart blackberry while finishing with tension. This is far from an easy-drinking, simple Rosso. It should excel through medium-term cellaring."

"Made with fruit from the estate's youngest vines (aged from 15 to 30 years old), the Pietradolce 2023 Etna Rosso has an informal personality that points to freshness and primary fruit. Winemaking is simple, with fermentation in steel and a very brief three months in French oak. That oak adds more to the overall integration of the wine and is virtually invisible otherwise. Dark cherry, cassis, plum and smoky volcanic ash emerge from the bouquet."
