Contrada Rinazzo Etna Bianco Superiore 2020

I love the mineral,and acid component to this wine. The only issue was it lacking in aromatics and fruit intensity. Seemed slightly hallow. — 2 months ago

Contrada Monte San Nicolo Etna Bianco Carricante 2021

From the slopes of Monte Gorna, south-east side of Mount Etna, made with the local grape Carricante, medium lemon color with aromas of stone fruit, citrus and honey floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple and pear with slight citrus and vanilla notes. Good acidity, balance and structure, medium+ finish ending with salty mineral character. Very Nice! — 3 months ago

Fragore Etna Rosso Contrada Montelaguardia Nerello Mascalese 2019

Decanted this, took a sip, and immediately put it back in the bottle. Way too tight. After a day, it was ready to go. A fuller bodied Etna, more balsamic/woody. Delicious but not as singular as the Russo bottles. — 2 months ago

Contrada P Terre Siciliane Red Blend 2018

Would never guess this in a blind tasting. Apparently he’s trying to create “the Burgundy of Sicily”. I see the connection but much drier and tannic than a Burgundy pinot. But still nice fruit character. Got better with air. — 3 months ago

Contrada Cavaliere Etna Rosso Nerello Cappuccio Nerello Mascalese 2020

南西側標高900mあたりの畑というなんとも気になるスペックのネレッロマスカレーゼ100。

ハーブやいかにも火山性な火薬、火打ち石感。
透明感に溢れながらもダークチェリーやドライフルーツ、醤油っぽい香り。
アーシーな雰囲気もあって、どこかりんごみたいな香りも。
言葉に置き換えるのが難しいほどの複雑味と多面性。
クリスマスだったので、チキンと食べたが、やっぱりあんまり合わなかったなぁ。
合わせるならローストビーフかな?
