Pietradolce Etna Rosso 2021
$50
Organic
The noble Nerello Mascalese grape performs at its best at 500 metre altitude on the famed northern side of Mt Etna. A favourite producer here at Five Way Cellars following a great visit in 2019. FWC.
Combines bright upfront red fruit with the darker, ferrous side of Mt Etna very well. Lovely aromatics of red currant, cassis, some ashy/mineral tones plus a hazelnut edge - a character I often find in Nerello Mascalese. Bright, fresh acidity gives great liveliness and a lick of chewy tannin to close really adds interest. Looks great again.– Jeremy Muller, FWC.
