Buscemi ‘Il Rosso’ 2019

Red Blend | Etna, Italy

Buscemi's 'Il Rossoi' is much more than just the perfect light to medium bodied summer red! What a delight! As expected from a vineyard at 980m above see level this looks very much like a cool climate rendition of Grenache. The Nerellos adding to the texture and complexity. Fine boned with a line of dusty tannins, the crunchy cherry bomb fruit balances juicy acid nicely. Full of energy & freshness, a superb light to medium bodied summer red.

Girolamo Russo Etna Rosato 2022

Nerello-Mascelese | Sicily, Etna

If you didn't see the colour you might well think this was a white. Deeper inspection sees those elements that take into the territory of a refreshing Rosé! Looking good with a crisp fine acid musk and rose with a little baking spices, shape and flow, strawberries. A little woody herbs, fun wine. Line and length here my friends! The Girolamo Russo 2022 Etna Rosato reveals a floral bouquet with wildflowers, peach blossom and whiffs of zagara, or Sicilian lemon blossom. It offers subtl

Terre Nere Etna Rosato 2022

Red Blend | Sicily, Etna

100% Nerello Mascalese Rosé is just so much fun! Ultra pale onion-peel pink. Herbs, almond paste, fresh flowers and cherry skin on the fresh nose. Then bright and juicy in the mouth too, with a subtle gingery bite to the red fruit and herb flavors. Closes long and saline. 100% Nerello Mascalese Rosé is just so much fun!

A steal for the price

Terre Nere Etna Bianco 2022

White Blend | Sicily, Etna

A lovely Etna Bianco that mercifully doesn’t taste of Chardonnay or other varieties that have no place on Etna. A steal for the price. Harmonious, lively aromas and flavours of white stone fruit and aromatic herbs. Bright and juicy, with a refreshing saline bite on the long smooth finish. Remarkably fresh and easy to drink. This is a steal for the price.

Terre Nere Etna Rosso 2022
Wonderful Perfume!

Terre Nere Etna Rosso 2022

Red Blend | Sicily, Etna

A Ripper from Marco! A great introduction to the wines of Mount Etna. Terre Nere's Etna Rosso blends Nerello Mascalese with just a splash of Nerello Cappuccio & is always fun! Passopisciaro lured me to Mount Etna, Terre Nere doubled down & Girolamo Russo confirmed they were no fluke! From the Rosso & Bianco through to the Contrade wines they are filled with personality. Terre Nere's Etna Rosso is beautifully poised.  The energy here pulsates through the wine. The perfume of vi

Buscemi ‘Il Bianco’ 2020

White Blend | Etna, Italy

Etna Whites are a Thing of Beauty! The tiny white plantings for ‘Il Bianco’ 2020 are similarly a ‘field blend’ of carricante with greganico dorato, which ampelographers have determined is one and the same as garganega (the principal variety for Soave in the Veneto, also grown on basaltic lava). 2020 was a pretty straightforward season with beautifully stable weather in October – the whites have great texture, drinkability and exotic fruit character. Simply delicious with excelle

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

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 latest Contrada from Terre Nere! Complex aromas of ripe berries with toffee, cedar and some floral undertones. Hot ash as well. The palate is full-bodied, but tight and linear with a chewy palate and lots of dried-peach and orange-peel undertones to the ripe fruit, but always linear and focused. Try after 2022. Suckling

The Feudo di Mezzo from Terre Nere has more immediate generosity. Showing more of itself earlier than higher vineyards of Santo Spirito and Guardiola The purity of fruit and brightness is very impressive with blackberry, cherry and walnut undertones. It’s full, very tight and complete with really fine, polished tannins and a beautiful, long finish. Really balanced. Drink or hold. Suckling Feudo di Mezzo is a larger Contrada, sub-plots within it are important to recognise. One day I'll ge
