Alta Mora Etna Rosso 2017 |
Aromas of lemon, watermelon and black cherries follow through to a medium body, firm, silky tannins and a solid, bright finish. Spicy pepper aromas with black currant and hints of mountain herbs. Vibrant and intense with well-integrated tannins.
The 2017 Etna Rosso is a terrific entry-level red wine from the Sicilian volcano that boasts the power and electric charge that I associate with wines from this fascinating territory. If you are new to the wines of Etna, this Rosso is a great place to start. This is a well-made and carefully shaped Nerello Mascalese (aged in large oak casks for eight months) that ushers forth smaller berry fruit, smoke and pencil shavings. The fruit is pure and precise. The wine's overall presentation is sharp and accessible. This is a blend of grapes from various contrade, including Verzella, Guardiola, Solicchiata and Feudo di Mezzo.

Our wonderful wine store closed recently and none of the other local stores nor none of the on line stores carried the wines I was looking for, You had four of the five! Also quick shipping in all recyclable packaging. No styrofoam. Thank you
