“Hauntingly dark and floral, the 2020 Etna Rosso Rampante smolders up with an array of dusty violets, lavender, cloves and earth tones before giving way to musky black currants. This is sleek and cool-toned in feel, showing its crisp minerality up front as tart wild berry fruits emerge over a core of sour citrus and spice. Structured and long yet still remarkably fresh, the 2020 finishes with dramatic length and concentration, leaving a hint of licorice and saline minerals that pinch at the cheeks. Patience will be required for this strapping Etna Rosso to come to full maturity.” -Eric Guido, Vinous, Mar. 2024

“Dusty, floral and slightly spicy, the 2020 Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo entices from the first tilt of the glass. It floods the palate with textures of pure silk, complicated by tactile mineral tones and brisk acidity as crunchy ed berry fruits cascade throughout. A tart cranberry crunchiness takes hold through the structured finale as violet inner florals slowly fade. This is a simply stunning rendition of Feudo di Mezzo. Bravo.” -Eric Guido, Vinous, Mar 2024

“Earthy, dark and brooding, the 2020 Etna Rosso Archineri grumbles up with a youthfully backward bouquet of ashen stones, grilled herbs and dried berries. It’s silky-smooth, with ripe wild berry fruits offset by hints of blood orange. A saline core of minerality saturates toward the close. This leaves the palate reeling with residual tension. Brisk acidity peppers the senses and fine tannins penetrate deeply, making for a dramatically long, structured and intense finale” -Eric Guido, Vinous, Mar 2024

“Remarkably pretty, the 2020 Etna Rosso Santo Spirito wafts up with a lifted blend of black cherries and dried strawberries, complemented by hints of clove and allspice. It’s soothingly round, with pretty red berry fruits motivated by vibrant acidity as rosy inner florals and licorice tones form toward the close. This tapers off with a classic tannic grip, maintaining fantastic freshness. The 2020 possesses a lovely balance that will carry it through its long and broad drinking window.” -Eric Guido, Vinous, Mar. 2024

“The nose is warm with fruit, as undertones of old leather and wet bricks both underscore and balance the leading aromas of dried figs, plums and hibiscus. On the palate, a bed of rose petals lightens that fruit depth, but taut tannins and hot acid bring yet more complexity.” — Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, March 2024

“A firm steak of graphite runs through this wine’s flavors of tarragon-scented black cherry and raspberry. It takes a savory turn with exposure to air, gaining notes of grilled game even as it finishes on a bright note of citrus peel.” – S.J., Wine & Spirits, March 2024

“Initial notes of vanilla and spice recede with exposure to air, revealing delicate rose-petal scents and vibrant red-cherry flavors tinged with orange peel and licorice. With a few years of cellaring, this should reveal additional layers of complexity.” – S.J., Wine & Spirits, March 2024

“A layer of cool graphite underlines supple dark fruit flavors in this rich and warming wine. Hints of thyme and violet brighten the wine as it gains freshness with exposure to air; its firm, ferrous tannins will benefit from a few yeras of cellaring.” – S.J., Wine & Spirits, March 2024
