November 11, 2023 - This has a great intensity of red fruit, mainly cherry with some raspberry, underlined by refreshing and aromatic acidity. Still there is this dry herbal, earthy touch characteristic of Etna Rosso wines, so it seems. Very Italian somehow. Ample tannins assist in creating depth of flavour and emphasise the dry nature.

May 2, 2021 - Nose gives away savory notes of cherries. The palate is round with supple tannins, dried cherries and plums on the palate with chalky minerality and some herby flavors on the medium long ending. Very enjoyable, and another good example of the potential of Etna wines.
