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.

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.

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 wee hit of sulphur blows off quickly in the glass. Holds this in good stead for a long life. Crystal clear. A layer of lanolin funk and spice floats above vibrant fruits that build on the palate fanning out offering great persistence.A little cleansing phenolics and fine acid balance a creamy mouthfeel. The fruit is nicely developed making for delicious drinking now with more to come.Spicy and full of tension, the 2022 Etna Bianco Le Vigne Niche Montalto bursts from the glass wit
Carricante from Etna, Sicily
2022 NOTE: A faint lick of larger format oak adds complexity without being intrusive and resolves quickly as the wine opens.Delicious! The perceived acidity is certainly higher than that of Montalto, sophisticated and delicate.Super-fine and flowing, a myriad of fresher flavours, I like Eric’s calls on candied lime, green apples and chamomile. Fabulous drinking fine and long with plenty more to come.The 2022 Etna Bianco Le Vigne Niche Santo Spirito lifts from the glass with a
