''Mount Etna's terroir is rocky and mineral rich. These soils are fashioned from the succession of eruptions dating back millennia. What has made the red wines of Etna so appealing is their similarity in some ways to Pinot Noir and Burgundy. The tannins are quite silky and aromas of strawberry and cherry call to mind Pinot Noir.'' Joseph Micallef & Tom Hyland, Forbes.com
As we get older we are more and more interested in the provenance and terroir of the wines that we drink. This attracted us to the Etna Rosso but I had no idea what the wine would look like or how it would taste. Simply put, the appearance and the taste were a bit counterintuitive as the colour of the wine is quite pale, think of a cool climate Pinot, and that made the taste even more surprising. This is a delicious and powerful wine that was extremely enjoyable. It has distinctive fruit, beautiful tannins and great balance. I was reminded of a very good Nebbiolo. We are looking forward to our next bottle and very happy to have discovered another new wine courtesy of Cloudwine. Thanks!
