2018 Etna Rosso, Giovanni Rosso

6.5ha estate on the northern slopes of Etna at 750m worked with a Piedmontese touch. Fragrant, moreish, powerful and ethereal at the same time with a great tannic backbone, sour cherry core and the peppery finish we love in Nerello Mascalese.

"A lovely pale orange-red tinge to the wine in the glass. Such an aromatic nose filled with iron filings, wet stone and summer berry fruits alongside violet touches. It has such freshness on the tongue, immediately juicy and then fills out with density of flavour. There’s a captivating rusticity to this with a savoury, almost herbal element edging the bright cherry and raspberry fruit. Soft tannins and lively acidity. A star-value buy."  Decanter
