The 2023 Etna Rosso A Rina wafts up with a savory profile, mixing woodland berry with nuances of sage, wet concrete and a burst of tangerine. This displays a lovely sweetness with its ripe strawberry and cherry fruits as rosy inner florals cascade throughout. It leaves a saturation of primary concentration as depths of tart raspberry mingle with autumnal spices through the long, refreshing finish. The product of severe selection, this is the only red from Girolamo Russo in 2023 due to the challenges of the year. It is not to be missed.

Smoky and perfumed with aromatic herbs, a bit of tar and lifted dark fruit. Medium-bodied. It shows firm, dusty, yet good tannins with crisp acidity and a tight finish. Drink or hold.

This co-fermentation of Nerellos Mascalese and Cappuccio from perhaps Etna's most Burgundy-inclined winemaker is a real treat, underlining the balance and purity that can emerge when grapes from great sites are vinified with care. Cherry, strawberry, spice and herbs are supported by fine, grainy tannins. Vertical in shape, it has poise, energy and freshness in abundance. So good!
