Masseria Setteporte Etna Rosso 2021

''Some earth and cloves to the dark fruits here as well as dried flowers. Medium body with fine and silky tannins and lots of polish and focus. Elegant and sophisticated in a fine and fresh way.'' 93 Points, Wine Spectator Magazine

''Volcanic island wines are never going to be cheap: yields are low, producers small, and logistics not always convenient. When it comes to the high-profile volcanic wine region on the slopes of Etna, you can find wines that are pretty good value compared to some of their scarily priced equivalents from the mainland, such as Barolo. The great red grape variety here is nerello mascalese, often blended with its juicy relative, nerello cappuccio. At their best, these wines offer an evocative combination of haunting fragrance and red-fruited complexity that has many people reaching for comparisons with the pinot noirs of Burgundy. Witness the charming softness and cherry freshness of Setteporte.'' David Williams, The Guardian

Look for minerality, violets, deeply fruit driven bouquet of layered red fruit and wild berries. Supple, harmonious, elegant and persistent with lots of texture and mineral expression. A superb expression of this unique volcanic soil.
