Took a little bit for the wine to wake up. Like a lot of Etna Rosas, this is a sort of combination of a good Pinot and Nebbiolo with some sicillian rustic charm. Perfumed raspberry, a rocky element, and friendly acidity are the stars of the show. There is some syrah like funk in there, too. Unmistakingly Sicilian, yet somehow similar to Burgundy and Piedmont. Good stuff!

Exceptional. Concentrated, but not overpowering. Balanced, but not boring. White flowers, slate, blue cheese, and loads of lemon. Great wine.
