Planeta Etna Rosso 2015
Sicily, ItalyThis is entirely nerello mascalese, a grape only found on this tip of Sicily, and bourne from the volcanic soils and altitude of Etna DOC. Sourced from their Feudo di Mezzo winery at 500m altitude, this was fermented in wood vats and stainless, and spent 18 days with the skins before resting in the same for six months. Pretty and fine grained, dusted with stony tannins, violets, wild raspberries, black cherries, salted wild herbs, textured with a pixellated acidity. This contradicts its 14 percent alcohol, with a youthful exuberance that streams it skyward, and encourages cellaring for the next 5+ years.Tasted: 29 September 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
