Origin Italy, Sicily, Etna
From the highest slopes of Mount Etna where vines can grow—literally old lava and sand—this stunning Nerello Mascalese showcases the Nebbiolo-like side of this Sicilian variety. Aromatically intense & wonderfully grippy, with lively red fruit, woody herbs, & gorgeous minerality. Wow! Food Pairing Lamb, wild mushrooms, sausages
Vinous
  • v94-96

The 2022 Etna Rosso Contrada Rampante is intense, wafting up with all of the volcanic ash and stones that make up its soils, complicated by grilled herbs and citrus-laced blackberries. This is surprisingly juicy and energetic in feel, with a wave of vibrantly ripe red and blue fruits that swirl throughout as tactile minerals collect toward the close. It finishes with teeth-coating tannins and concentration, leaving a sensation of liquid stone and a resonance of tart cranberry toward the close. Wow, I swear I can sense the soil of the vineyard in the glass. Tasted from barrel.
