Tasting Note
Darkly alluring and youthfully backward, the 2022 Etna Rosso Prephylloxera La Vigna di Don Peppino Calderara Sottana smolders up with a blend of sweet spices, dusty violets and ash, giving way to dried black cherries, sage and cloves. This is velvety yet finessed, with a polished wave of ripe red and blue fruit that flows across a juicy stream of acidity. Hints of sour citrus add contrast toward the close. It finishes remarkably fresh and energetic, still tannic but lively, as crunchy tannins resonate and an air of lavender slowly fades. This is an elegant and genuinely harmonious edition of this cuvée. Simply stunning. - Eric Guido, Vinous 96/100
Product Notes
Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso Prephylloxera is an exquisite Italian wine hailing from the volcanic soils of Mount Etna in Sicily. This exceptional wine is produced from pre-phylloxera vines, some of which are over a century old, resulting in limited production but unparalleled quality. It offers a rich bouquet blending perfumed florals with ripe, juicy red fruits. On the palate, it has a fresh and bright but densely layered consistency; a harmonious mix of cherry, spices, and hints of volcanic soil. Tannins are well-integrated, underlining a long, polished finish. It’s a veritable celebration of Sicily's unique character, tradition, and terroir.
