Served blind . Arrogantly said after a quick smell & taste, Burgundy from 2018 , high quality village wine. WRONG! Beautiful flavors of cherry, earth and mineral. Pepper red fruits, herbs and mouthwatering acid attacked my palate. Still has structure to endure for years. — 6 months ago

Mt Etna is the new Burgundy of the Mediterranean. Check out this story we produce a few months back of Terre Nere, crafting beautiful expressive vibrant yet complex wines from single sites on My Etna using Nerello Mascalese. https://youtu.be/iCKe8UoZ-Jk?si=-6EAUc9EvM-Nl1Uc

Very nice. This wine is all mineral. Light citrus fruits, but what I notice is that volcanic soil. Mild reductive notes. High acid. Good length. — 6 months ago

An excellent white from Sicily. Pale yellow with aromas of minerality, lemon zest, and apple. On the bud, it’s has a nice full body with citrus flavors of lemon and grapefruit. Finish is long. — 7 months ago

9.1

Popped and poured; enjoyed over a 90 minute period. No formal notes. Slightly deeper in color than the Benanti enjoyed before and there’s a bit more depth in general when comparing the two. Ripe strawberries and cherries. Savory. Good structure. Drinking well now but this has the stuffing to mature gracefully over the next decade. — 3 years ago

Rose petals and dried herbs with a big aroma of rich cherry and balsamic. Comes off very rich and a little boozy (vintage?), much more than Benanti. Some astringency too for a wine usually very well balanced. Still a hallmark producer for Etna wine. Maybe a little time to rest would do well — 4 years ago
