772 | Wine | Red, Sicily

"Deep ruby-red with pleasant reflections of violet. Intense and covered, notes of currant stick out, wild strawberries, and pomegranate. Soft and velvety. Distinct characteristics of fruitiness come forth."

Violet shades to the eye, with red orchard fruit on the nose. Dense flavors of fresh strawberries and cherries on the palate, with suggestions of oregano and thyme in the background. Grows fresher and brighter, with a hint of spices emerging with time. Full flavored and persistent, with fine tannins slowly unfurling. Real power and grace in the glass. Pair this one with roasted chicken or pork.
- Binny's Tasting Note

"A dark Nero, packed with layers of baking spice, plum skin, fig paste and maduro tobacco. A modern style, with a long aftertaste of spice and berries."

"A gorgeous entry-level wine, the 2011 Etna Rosso is remarkably balanced and poised. Sweet herbs, tobacco, licorice, fennel and herbs emerge form this utterly gracious and compelling red. This is a great showing from the Rosso. The wine’s depth, balance and harmony are first-class all the way. Based on this showing, I can hardly wait to taste the other wines in the range!"

"Intense ruby-red in color with supple aromas of ripe black cherry and blackberry, and hints of charcoal, vanilla, and black pepper. On the palate, abundant flavors of ripe fruit and exotic spice are balanced by pleasant acidity and silky tannins."

"This dark red balances ripe black plum and blackberry flavors with bright acidity and tarry mineral notes. Remains fresh through the solid finish, which lingers with an aftertaste of underbrush and spice."
