Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 91 Points (2021)

Iron and mineral-rich notes of soil, bricks and blood on the nose of this wine gain a fruity tang from Bing cherries and strawberries. These impressions continue on the palate, with spicy notes of black peppercorns and red chile flakes. Earthiness follows all the way through, balanced by spirited acid.

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 91 Points (2020)

With a bouquet of black raspberries in an air of cracked slate, flint, ashen stone and smoke, the 2020 Etna Rosso makes itself known. It’s round and silky, with an initial burst of inner sweetness that’s quickly contrasted by tart wild berries and mineral tones that saturate toward the close. The 2020 keeps the energy high, even as it finishes lightly structured, leaving sour citrus and blackberries to linger. I love the vibrancy and vivid fruit here, but do give this some air to blow off a bit of its youthful reduction.

James Suckling (JS) : 90 Points (2020)

For a young Etna Rosso this is very easy to enjoy, thanks to the ripe red-berry character, delicate earthiness and the full-bodied, silky palate. A bit simple and dry at the finish.

Robert Parker (RP) : 88+ Points (2018)

Simple and fine, the 2017 Etna Rosso by Pietradolce shows an elegant but approachable personality. You get small-berry aromas with smoke, ash and crushed stone. The mouthfeel is thin and compact, but those small-berry flavors do last. I'd suggest a pairing with thin crust pizza or easy pasta dishes at home. This is a pure expression of Nerello Mascalese aged in large oak casks for three months. Some 15,000 bottles were made.

Jancis Robinson (JR) : 17 Points (2015)

Cask sample. Pale ruby. Lifted, lively raspberry nose and succulent raspberry fruit on the palate with fine sandy tannins. Closes up quickly. Linear finish for the moment. Wonderful lightness of touch, but not ready yet. (WS)

Very pale straw color. Gorgeous nose of white peach, lime, minerals and jasmine. Then fresh and crisp, but with an underlying glyceral note that provides backbone to the zingy citrus and pomaceous…

A unique wine from pre-phylloxera, 100 year old Nerello Mascalese, whose yields are minute and produce less than half a bottle of wine per vine. The result is an extraordinary…
