Nerello Mascalese from Etna, Sicily
These wines are spectacular, loaded with personality, a true expression of extreme sites! Made from Nerello Mascelese, some call it the Barolo of the South, others a cross between Pinot & Nebbiolo. I prefer to say it is itself & delicious. The vineyards of Etna have undergone a major renaissance in the last couple of decades. Passipisciaro has been one of the wineries at the forefront. I was blown away the first time I tasted this wine.The 2024 is a ripper! Grape first, it's a li
With fruit sourced from the Contradas of San Lorenzo, Feudo and Calderara Sottana there is some serious pedigree to the vineyards and it shows in the wine!

Nerello-Mascelese from Etna, Sicily
100% Nerello Mascalese Rosé is just so much fun! Dusty and floral, the 2024 Etna Rosato lifts up with a delicate mix of peach, ripe melon and minty herbs. It's juicy in character with crisp white cherry-berry tones that resonate. The 2024 tapers off with a gentle tension as hints of wild strawberry slowly fade. Eric Guido, Vinous 91 Points100% Nerello Mascalese Rosé is just so much fun!
White Blend from Etna, Sicily
A whiff of lemon oil mixes with sweet mint and crushed rocks as the 2024 Etna Bianco opens in the glass. This is juicy and playful in feel with ripe melon and a cascade of inner florals that swirl throughout. It leaves a salty sensation and nuances of candied citrus on the wickedly fresh finish.

Nerello-Mascelese from Etna, Sicily
100% Nerello Mascalese Rosé is just so much fun! The 2025 Etna Rosato is so impressive, mixing crushed peaches with chamomile, citrusy spices and spearmint. Luxuriously round and supple, it has brisk acidity to balance as decadently ripe orchard fruits are neatly offset by a crunch of minerality toward the close. It finishes long with a saline inflection. The 2025 is deeply complex and well balanced for the cellar.Eric Guido, Vinous 93 Points100% Nerello Mascalese Rosé is just so muc
A Ripper from Marco! For the 2023 Vintage: Terre Nere's ascension continues. The 2023 Etna Rosso is a delight. Harmonious, flowing, superb élévage. Earth, spice and all things nice layer around a core of dark, savoury fruit of excellent mid-palate weight. There's plenty of energy here. Perhaps one of the most complete Terre Nere Etna Rosso's to date. Making a wine of this calibre in such a difficult year is a demonstration that they have mastered the mountain.A great introduction to the wi
Buscemi's 'Tartaraci' is blended with a splash of Grenache Buscemi's single vineyard red from the Contrada of Tartaraci lies at an elevation of 980m above sea level expect elegances and perfume! It has a good slug of Grenache in it running at upto 30%. The Contrada Tartaraci Rosso IGP, not produced in 2018, the 2019 is a return to a Nerello dominant wine, with the earlier drinking il Rosso 2019, retaining a higher ratio of Granaccia (Grenache) in the blend. This wine always shows great touch.
White Blend from Etna, Sicily
The Girolamo Russo 2024 Etna Bianca Nerina is 85% Carricante and 15% other local grapes with a grassy side and aromas of the wild chamomile flower that grows on the slopes of Etna. The wine is balanced and not too fresh in this warm vintage but with a nice sense of easy-drinking fruit and accessibility.Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 92 PointsCarricante with the rest being Inzolia, Coda di Volpe and Catarratto , harvested from San Lorenzo , Feudo and Calderara Sottana .
Carricante from Etna, Sicily
I have an ever-growing soft spot for the whites of Mount Etna, they have seen great leaps in quality over recent times.The fruit for Pietradolce’s Arhcineri Etna Bianco is sourced from pre-phylloxera vines planted at 850-900 metres on the eastern slopes near Milo, the undisputed white growing sub-region of Mount Etna. You’ll find the whites from Milo to be generally a cooler reflection of Carricante with slightly lower alcohol, higher acid and minerality.The precision and purity her

Carricante from Etna, Sicily
A tightly meshed white with structured acidity creating a mouthwatering frame for notes of yellow apple, pear, grapefruit pith, blanched almond, rosemary and spring blossoms. Long and salty, with mineral drive on the racy finish.Wine Spectator 93 Points
