2020 Francesco Tornatore Etna Rosso

Lighter hued ruby color though satisfying depth of fruit alongside Nerello's subtle, earthy, dry cured meat aromas. Quite respectable tannin, minerality, acidity. Good extraction of dried strawberry fruit & green strawberry leaf. Not so sharp as cranberry for me- there is more richness. Lovely to pair with shellfish in light tomato broth, or picnic roast beef sandwich, quite rare with proper Jarlsberg, green lettuce, & white onion.

Much more open/expressive/satisfying 2nd day. Big white & well structured for the price. Tannic framework draped in luxurious white stone fruits, papaya, wild honey, searing acidity, appropriate oak & stem resin. Alcohol seems forward still, as I would hope for a wine to cellar. Stoney, waxy, viscous, peach & white floral lanolin finish is very long lasting.
True to the vintage. I'll be buying these for the cellar, I'm a big fan of well made Northern Rhone whites.

Beautifully aromatic, fruitful, grippy, barely yielding. Decant 3-4 hours if you must drink, and prepare thick, grilled ribeye of beef. Needs another 10 years in the cellar, ideally.
