Note di degustazione
Vivid cherry-berry and sweet spice give way to a more autumnal display of cloves, cinnamon, sage and a lifting whiff of mentholated herbs as Terre Nere’s 2008 Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo Il Quadro delle Rose comes to life in the glass. It's been ten years since I last tasted this beauty, which at that time was a wall of tannin; but today, the 2008 is velvety, deep and elegant, with ripe red woodland berries and minerals offset by sour citrus under a gorgeous air of inner rose. The color is an impenetrable deep ruby, without a single sign of maturity. You can still perceive a coating of fine tannin through the finale, but now more of an accent than an obstacle, as the 2008 finishes gracefully and pure, resonating on notes of dried strawberries, red currants and hints of leather. This is what a mature Etna Rosso should strive to be.

Bright red. Bushvines of 40 to 140 years old. Earthy, minerally nose with real chew. Bring forth magma! Just masses of personality. Ready. (JR)
Shaded evolution. Lots of ripe fruit and more than a hint of Pimms (cucumber peel, the bitterness of quinine). Good fun and really interesting. (JR)
The 2008 Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo Il Quadro delle Rose is a somewhat severe, tannic wine. With time in the glass the inner perfume emerges from the tightly coiled frame. Sweet roses and red berries caress the palate as the wine finds its balance in the glass. The Quadro delle Rose will require patience, but it is a wine of great harmony and exceptional finesse.
