About this product
One of the benchmark producers from one of Sicily's most exciting regions, Mt Etna. An area strongly affected by the volcanic activity with wines that often reflect the rocky mineral soils that they are grown in Nerello Mascalese is the hero variety here, in a wine that shows Red berry, baking spice and a balsamic whiff of camphor on the nose. On the racy, linear palate, firm acidity and polished tannins accompany sour cherry, orange zest, mineral and aniseed. Taut refined tannins b

Light and tangy. Fresh raspberry, mint, dried herbs and ash. Only just medium-bodied, etched with acidity, dusty pumice stone tannin, mulch, pomegranate, orange and spice. Dry, but bright, with a sappy crunch to the finish. Wet and cool year feel, though I reckon there’s some further potential with a little bottle age.
