"The perfect introduction to this exceptional volcanic terroir: a real pleasure to taste according to Vinous!"

"The 2022 Etna Rosso exudes a fragrant blend of pink flowers and juniper berry notes. It's very fruity, with a wave of ripe wild berries and sweet spices that melt into lively acidity. It leaves a trace of primary concentration and slightly tight tannins that resonate while the inner floral notes of violet slowly fade. Although more extroverted than expected, the 2022 is a real pleasure to taste and retains fantastic balance. 2024-2027" (Vinous - 2024)
