Reviews
James Suckling 91
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.

Wine Spectator 90
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.

Decanter 91
Earthy and clayey aromas introduce some red fruit scents, then a vertical and poised palate of spicy raspberry and strawberry. Light on its feet and with appealing texture and bright acidity, this is a delicious wine to enjoy with or without food. 100% Nerello Mascalese from Etna's north slope aged partially in concrete and partially in French oak for 12 months.

Made from 100% Narello Mascalese, the 2022 Etna Rosso Lavico is sourced from vineyards at 700 meters above sea level, characterized by floral perfume, cranberry, minty herbs, and sour cherries. Medium-bodied, it's a highly charming Rosso that boasts refined tannins and an elegant, floating finish with dusty earth. It was aged in a combination of cement tanks, stainless steel, and tonneaux for 14 months, followed by one year in bottle.
