Tasting Notes
I'm so excited to have this wine in our range... more than usual. I never really understood the comparison of Etna to both Barolo and Burgundy, but this wine typifies this comment. The wine has the prettiness and perfume of both Barolo and Burgundy, plus the structure often seen in Nebbiolo and the oak influence seen in Burgundy. It is 100% Nerello Mascalese from Pre-pylloxera vines and it is an outstanding wine. Can be enjoyed now with a decent decant or over the next 50 years if you have the time. I'm gob-smacked at how good this wine is. - Chris L
Less is more! Minimal intervention or Lo-fi wines encapsulate those producers who keep additions and manipulations to a minimum during the winemaking process. This means the wines are wild fermented, unfiltered and unfined, and only add sulfur during the process.
