Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso 2015

Medium light ruby color. Bursting spices nose that leads to red berry aromas, crushed rocks and coal. Very flowery and more delicate on the palate than what the nose could’ve showed, long refine red berries and sweet spices, great acidity and looong finish. This is good! Could be described as a rock grown Pinot styled wine. Excellent (91)

Bright and translucid ruby color. Nose of red berries with some green notes, earth and ashes. Good acidity level without being razor sharp, very fresh and never the alcohol level was an issue other than the smile that came in our faces. Was almost drinking like a Beaujolais! Same flavor profile with just enough concentration, balance and ends in a flavorfull finish. Drank quite rapidly! Very good+ (90)
