Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana 2021 is a full-bodied red wine from Mount Etna, Sicily. This 100% Nerello Mascalese is sourced from 50 to 100-year-old vines on the northern slope of Mount Etna. The wine is matured in French oak barriques and tonneaux for 16-18 months before being bottled unfiltered. "This is more vibrant with red berries, blood oranges, light spices and hints of terra-cotta. Medium-bodied, juicy and fruit-forward with tangy acidity and dusty tannins. Hints of bitter orange at the end. Long and chalky yet very attractive and enjoyable now." James Suckling, 2022

Vinous
From the moment the glass is tilted, the 2021 Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana Vineyard shines through as crushed stones, ash and sweet smoke give way to vivid black cherries and autumnal spice. The 2021 Etna Rosso is elegant, silky and deeply textural, with salty mineral tones and gobs of red and black fruits, all perfectly maintained by a core of vibrant acidity. This is complex yet full of energy and sultry depths, tapering off saline and structured with grippy tannins that frame a lasting resonance of licorice and plums. These old vines handled the drought of the vintage beautifully, showing only in the grit of its tannins. Otherwise, the 2021 is pure magic.
