Note di degustazione
The 2008 Etna Rosso is a rock-star wine for the money. The purity and depth of the dark red fruit is remarkable, while the finesse in the tannins is commendable for a wine in this price range. Sweet tobacco, flowers and spices linger on the finish. Consider the Etna Rosso a poor man's Burgundy or Barolo. It is a great effort at this level.

Sweet tobacco, flowers and spices linger on the finish. Consider the Etna Rosso a poor man's Burgundy or Barolo. It is a great effort at this level. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016. Proprietor Marc de Grazia is one of the pioneers of the Etna. Not only was he among the first producers to recognize the value of these once-forgotten, ancient terroirs, he also was the first producer to bring attention to the specific qualities of these vineyards by bottling single-parcel Nerellos that have become reference-point wines for the Etna.
