WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The wine is ethereal and spicy with scents of red fruit.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2022 Etna Rosso Contrada Monte Serra is coy in the glass, grumbling up with hints of dried cherry, sage and cedary spice. It opens with a balanced inner sweetness that is quickly contrasted by tart wild berry fruits and saline minerals that add a tactile sensation toward the close. The 2022 finishes long and structured with a sour berry concentration and violet inner florals that slowly fade. Further cellaring should help to soften its contours over time, yet I expect the Monte Serra will always be something a nervy and feisty Etna Rosso.
