The 2012 Etna Rosso is a real beauty. When considering an Etna red wine you often need to think about volume. Nerello Mascalese is not a grape that naturally offers exuberant or opulent fruit tones. Instead, it shows its strength and quality in the way it wraps thickly over the palate and in the length of its finish. This wine gives you a really good sense of what I mean. The bouquet offers wild berry, dried herb and mineral tones. The effect is ethereal and light. In the mouth, however, the wine shows deeper strength, power and magnitude.
