The 2022 Etna Rosso lifts from the glass with a bouquet that mixes savory and sweet: woodland berries, cloves, grilled herbs and wet concrete. This is fruit-focused, with masses of ripe black cherries accentuated by hints of sweet spice as a gentle staining of tannins forms toward the close. The 2022 finishes remarkably fresh, enlivened by a bump of juicy acidity as rosy inner florals gradually taper off. This makes for an excellent introduction to the Pietradolce style.

The predominantly cool, fresh and earthy nose also features astringent, subtly warm aromas of tea leaves, hibiscus, plums, cranberries and orange peels. On the palate, those sour fruit notes are accentuated by almost metallic overtones of citrus and pepper. Acid fizzes in the background.

Grapefruit, fresh cranberries and mineral on the nose. Fresh and almost tangy on the palate with zesty citrus and a firm backbone of tannins. Nicely grippy and structured. Drink in a year or two.
