Giovanni Rosso Etna Rosso 2017

Piedmontese Davide Rosso captures the soul of Etna in this vibrant red, which is mostly Nerello Mascalese with small amounts of 'other local varieties'. The aromatic nose is filled with Morello cherry and undergrowth, sweet spices, iron filings and wet stone. On the palate, the harmony between soft and silky tannins and the acid-alcoholic component stands out. Drinking window: 2022-2035. Score - 94. (Tiziano Gaia, decanter.com, Jan. 29, 2022) 750 mL bottle
