I love Etna Rossos. They have a unique purity of fruit. This one was very nice, with the purity thing augmented by a smoky note.
Medium dark ruby color. Bright, vibrant ripe cherry fruit on the nose, along with loads of stony minerality and the aforementioned smoky note. Bright, pure cherry fruit pounces in the mouth, riding a wave of fine-grained tannins, and there is a lot of clean minerality on the palate as well. It's a little more full-bodied than some other Etnas I've had. Medium long finish. A little loose, this would really kill it if it had just a touch more concentration. But it's a cuspy B+/A-. Was $15.99 from zachys.com. Imported by Cottanera USA, Saucelito, CA.
