This is a remarkable wine created from vines that are over 130 years old. It is endlessly complex and perfectly exhibits the unique combination of subtle power yet unerring grace found in Mt Etna wines. The palate is streamlined and focused with subtle nuances of wild berry, spice, ash and rose hip. Decant and serve in large Pinot Noir-style glasses.

Bright red. Pungent flinty and floral nuances to the red cherry and raspberry jam aromas on the inviting nose. Enters rich, dense and almost sweet, with very precise sweet spice and red fruit flavors lingering nicely. An underlying green note remains in the background and adds complexity. Finishes with noteworthy but balanced tannic bite and plenty of freshness on the long juicy finish. A very complex wine with a beautiful nose; the tannins though are on the tough side as in many of these Terre Nere 2017 reds. A very good wine of noteworthy promise, my suggestion is to cellar this for another 4-6 years for full enjoyment.Ian d'Agata1st August 2019
