Etna Rosso

This is a very good bargain-basement Etna in the classic medium-bodied style. Nose has lots of pure dark cherry and crushed stone. These carry through on the palate, with fruit initially but giving way quickly to minerality and savory notes. Nice, but unobtrusive, acids. A fair amount of very soft tannin in the lengthy finish. This has that nice transparency I like in Etnas, reminiscent of a cross between an annata Chianti Classico and a Valtellina.
