2017 Cusumano Alta Mora Etna Rosso

Aromas of lemon, watermelon and black cherries follow through to a medium body, firm, silky tannins and a solid, bright finish. Tighter style to this. Drink now or hold.

The 2017 Etna Rosso is a terrific entry-level red wine from the Sicilian volcano that boasts the power and electric charge that I associate with wines from this fascinating territory. If you are new to the wines of Etna, this Rosso is a great place to start. This is a well-made and carefully shaped Nerello Mascalese (aged in large oak casks for eight months) that ushers forth smaller berry fruit, smoke and pencil shavings. The fruit is pure and precise. The wine's overall presentation is sharp and accessible. This is a blend of grapes from various contrade, including Verzella, Guardiola, Solicchiata and Feudo di Mezzo.

Charmerende og kompleks på samme tid. Rød peberfrugt, moden tomat, friske kirsebær, floral, sure jordbær, sød lakrids og underliggende cedertræ. Rensende syre, harmoniske tanniner og lang afslutning.

Fyldig næse med masser af skovbærnoter. Flot, fyldig og intens vin, som vil og kan rigtig meget. Flot integrerede tanniner. Lang afslutning.
