Ratings : JS 93 / VM 91 pts

In 2009 Paolo started to produce a simpler Etna Rosso, an everyday wine, which brings us back to the perfumes and flavors of Nerello Mascalese that grows on the slopes of Etna. A wine that, as they say in Sicily, “Ciaurìa” of Etna. A wine that impresses with its disarming simplicity. A magic that is consumed only when you meet an extraordinary vine with a unique territory. 100% Nerello Mascalese (selection massale). Pre-philloxera rootstock. Type of earth: Black earth, deep with presence of sand, rich of minerals. Aged 6 months French barriques. Refinement in bottle 6 months (min).

JS: Aromas of basil, tarragon, baked strawberry, raspberry and hibiscus. Medium-bodied with fine, slightly tense tannins. Steely character to the fruit on the palate, with a bit more spice coming through towards the finish.

VM :The 2021 Etna Rosso Ciauria is spicy and exotic, with a burst of tangerine that evolves into a mix of ginger, young strawberries and dried roses. This is round and juicy in feel, with fleshy, ripe red fruits offset by hints of sour melon and a saturation of minerality that mounts toward the close. There’s a light staining of tannins that linger, yet they don’t get in the way of the 2021 finishing finessed, with hints of licorice and cherry pits that slowly taper off. The Ciauria is a fresh and fun expression of Nerello Mascalese that’s refined for six months in second-pass French barriques.
