Punchy aroma. Lovely full taste of green apple and peach, can stand up against smoked salmon

Quite a strange one here.

Deep gold with an intensely savoury nose. The palate follows through with ripe (almost dried) apricot, and a certain saltiness that reminded me of Envinate's white wines.

It's also fairly grippy and feels like it's had extended skin-contact.

I'm not sure what a 'textbook' carricante is supposed to taste like but I doubt this is it. Still, an interesting wine but wish it were fresher, juicier, and had more dimensions overall.

Served blind. I thought it was Jura. Ripe red apples, zesty minerals, white pepper, tartness, and a bit of funk. A bit hollow on the midpalate. Should be served with food.

Berries, mushrooms, and white pepper on the nose. The palate has firm acidity and rather prominent tannins, with notes of berry and white pepper. Despite being a bit tight, this is still delicious and easy to drink. 13.5% ABV. A well-made Etna red that I'd seek out again.

Intense and lively ruby color. The nose is dominated by fruity aromas of crisp red berries and citrus, with a purity and disarming elegance. Some hints of spice and mulberry, Mediterranean scrub, and a slightly wild balsamic note. On the palate, it's playful with upfront tannins and beautiful persistence, washed away in waves by a lovely salinity. A pleasure to drink.

Colore rubino intenso e vivace. Naso dominato da aromi fruttati di piccoli frutti rossi croccanti e agrumi, di una purezza ed eleganza disarmante. Qualche accenno di spezia e di mora di gelso, macchia mediterranea, un balsamicità leggermente selvaggia. In bocca è giocoso con un tannino frontale e di bella persistenza che viene lavato via ad ondate da una bellissima sapidità. Beva di grande piacere

50% Nerello Mascalese, 20% Grenache, 30% white grapes (Grecanico, Carricante and Coda di Volpe) from a plot of 0.5 hectares of free-footed strains of 80 to 100 years of quite rocky sandy volcanic soils at 1070 m, on the northwest slope of Etna. Spontaneous fermentation in concrete deposits and aging of 9 months in concrete and old barrels of 2.28 hl. Red fruits, floral, earthy, mineral, fresh, generous and juicy.

PnP Z Bx. Forsmak i vårsola. Fersk sursøt lukt med blåbær, og salvie. Relativt rik smak med blåbær og fin vanilje. 1 dag: sypress og fast frukt. Dag 2: mistet litt finess. Kanskje svak flaske. Lot. QN0122

Spent på om den leverer nå som forventningen er høyere. PnP, kald, Zalto Bx. Forsiktig fersk nese med jordbær, tranebær, lett krydder. Slank og kjølig frukt med tranebær, frisk og fast avsluttning. 1 dag: tilnærmet uforandret

93+ Another excellent, new wave Italian that absolutely lives up to the hype. And this is his entry level?!

N: Bright, smashed ripe cherry, granite, iodine, strong floral aromatics.

P: Med body, but concentrated. Silky entry, cranberry, boysenberry, roses. Turns to taut, sandy tannins, bitter tea and dark chocolate tones. Med+ tannins and acid, classically Italian. Harmony and grace in this. Legs for another few years in bottle.

Transparent dark Ruby, almost brown in the glass. Faint wisps of old leather and plum jam on the nose. Very light on the palate, faint notes of very old cedar, leather again. Finish is full of tannins, but they aren't unpleasant. Cuts through the palate. But definitely not one to age

Spent på ny årgang. PnP. Tiltalende parfymert nese med lyng og røde bær. Slank og presis frukt. Lang avslutning med tyttebær-tanniner og passe syre. Trenger stort glass. Minner om TE, burgundersk, lett krydret. Best i Zalto Bx. 1 dag: tyttebær og flyktige fine noter.

From memory: could use more time but it was bright with red fruits, smoky minerality, and a grippy finish with nice acidity.

A mix from around the slope. Smells a touch medicinal. Or a touch Etna sulfur dust going on.

Continuing with my theme of volcanic wines.

A bit overwhelmingly sulphurous - more so than Envinate Benje Tinto. Not much smoke.

I like to think of nerello mascalese as a cross between Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo. This bottle was firmly in the Piedmontese spectrum. As opposed to Pietradolce's which was more Burgundian and more to my taste. Tannins were rather present - I don't mind tannins but they were not fine from this bottle.

Mineral wine yes but none of the aromatics I love in an Etna Rosso.

Nice note of white pepper on the finish.

Next to try will be something from Santorini - I have yet to buy.
Maybe it was unfair for this wine because we had the Fleur de Pinot by Pataille prior to broaching this sulphuric beast.

£29.50 from The Sourcing Table.

Smells like fermentation science on the nose. Like wild yeast going up my nose. Palate is better, if angular. Apparently an Etna winery but was originally made by Occopiniti or at her facility, hence the Terre Siciliane. Roasted popcorn on the nose, and then Nerello grip on the back of the palate. And just a little too crazy for me.

Skin contact style, but these people know what they're doing. I found it textured and complex, nutty and peachy. My husband said it tasted like cider, which was a surprise as I'm quick to judge wines as such and did not find it to be unduly "natural" tasting.
