Alison Napjus writes: This fresh, harmonious red layers flavors of black cherry, Earl Grey tea, milled pepper and fine tannins with a base note of tar-tinged minerality, which emerges to linger on the finish. Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. Drink now through 2030. - Wine Spectator 91
Grapes selected from vineyards located on the North, South-east and South-west slopes of Mount Etna.
The wine has a pale ruby red color. The nose is ethereal and intense with hints of red fruits. The palate is dry and mineral with pleasant acidity and salinity, persistent and harmonious.
A versatile wine that can be paired with red meats and cheeses but also with fish or white meats. Very suitable for by-the-glass consumption.
