Aromas of ripe red berries with hints of chocolate, burnt oranges and smoky minerality. Medium-bodied and firm with grainy tannins. I like the mineral backbone and juicy fruit underneath. Flavorful finish.

The 2022 Etna Rosso Lavico is exotic and perfumed, with a vibrant mix of dusty rose, shaved orange and cedar dust complementing wild strawberries. It is soft and round, with medium-bodied textures and tart wild berry fruits enlivened by a core of brisk acidity. The 2022 cleans up beautifully, poised yet juicy, with a hint of sour cranberry punctuating the experience nicely.

This open-knit red is fresh and accessible, with wild strawberry, dried lavender and thyme, minerally tar and stone notes animated by bright, blood orange peel–infused acidity. Herb and spice accents linger on the lightly chewy finish.
