Tenuta delle Terre Nere "Calderara Sottana" Etna Rosso 2016

Vinous, Ian D'Agata
(6/2019) "Moderately saturated brilliant crimson red. Minty and balsamic nuances complement the very elegant aromas of strawberry, red cherry, rose petal, savory herbs and crushed rocks. Clean and fresh yet also very rich and ripe, with a steely core of red/black fruit nicely framed by silky tannins and harmonious acidity. Finishes very suave and smooth, boasting a highly multifaceted and concentrated personality. To put it in perspective, this currently offers more flesh and depth than Terre Nere's also outstanding Etna Rosso Guardiola and San Lorenzo, but also greater steely resolve, a very typical finding in Calderara Sottana, a contrada characterized by extremely poor stony soil. Let me be crystal-clear: this is one of the two/three best Calderara Sottana wines from Terre Nere ever, and I should know having tasted all of them multiple times over the years. Drinking window: 2022 - 2030."

Girolamo Russo "Feudo di Mezzo" Etna Rosso 2016
A robust "Tre Bichieri" winning red from the slopes of Mount Etna!
94
Wine Advocate
(12/28/2018) "One step up on the intensity ladder, the 2016 Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo shows a greater degree of concentration and darkness compared to A'Rina and Feudo. The Feudo di Mezzo vineyard delivers gusty, ripe and dark fruit characteristics. You get dark cherry and plummy fruit with spice, tar and licorice at the back. This is a beautiful expression from Etna. Drink Date 2019 - 2030."

Calabretta Terre Siciliane Nerello Cappuccio 2015
95
Vinous, Ian D'Agata
(8/2019) "Very deep ruby; this is an appropriate dark color for Nerello Cappuccio wines, which should always be darker than those made with Nerello Mascalese. Red cherry and blueberry aromas are lifted by a strong whiff of lavender and bay leaf on the autumnal nose. Then lively and juicy, with outstanding inner-mouth perfume to the red cherry and herbal flavors. Finishes vibrant and fresh, with hints of strawberry-rhubarb pie and tangerine peel. This refined, discreet but very perfumed and flavorful Nerello Cappuccio will appeal more to those who like their reds herbal rather than overtly fruity. Drinking Window: 2020 - 2027"

Calabretta Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese Vigne Vecchie 2010

Vinous, Ian D'Agata
(9/2019) "Bright red. A funky note clears with aeration to showcase very pretty strawberry, red cherry and violet aromas and flavors, complicated by hints of fresh ginger, white pepper and lemon peel. Finishes long and perfumed with outstanding juicy cut and with suave, polished tannins. Drinking Window: 2019 - 2024"

(10/31/2018) "Fresh earth and mineral notes provide an aromatic overtone for flavors of ripe cherry and strawberry fruit in this well-knit and chewy, medium-bodied red. Fresh and creamy, with hints of dried fig, anise and herb lingering on the finish. Drink now through 2026."

Cottanera "17Salme" Etna Rosso 2015
92
Vinous, Ian D'Agata
(12/2016) "Deep red; lighter in color than the Barbazzale Rosso. Captivating aromas of black cherry, red berries, fresh herbs and flowers. Plush and impressively concentrated; harmonious acidity gives good tension and definition to the midpalate. Finishes graceful and long with silky tannins. Lovely Etna Rosso."

(5/2020) The lightly-pigmented Nerello Mascalese grown on the northern slopes of Sicily's active Mt. Etna volcano makes this most beautiful "onion skin" colored Rose. A bit of aeration coaxes out deeper floral tones laid over blood orange aromatics. The story here is really how alive the wine is in your mouth - with good intensity on the attack, a juicy midpalate and fierce minerality on the long finish.A serious Rose with the stuffing to drink well for a few years. Lovely stuff!

Calabretta Terre Siciliane Rosato 2018
Winemaker's Notes
"Rose wine from young vineyrds in contrada Calderara. Origin from a rigorous "massale" (ancient vinyards) selection of the vines. A big number ungrafted. Ancient traditional fermentation "Pista & Mutta" (to press = pista & to transfer = mutta) without the solid part we have low color & low tannin. This was the wine of the farmer... he can drink all at once! Fruit, floral with structure. Dedicated to the ancient ways."

Cottanera "Barbazzale" Sicila Bianco 2018
A lovely splash of 5% Viognier adds floral aromas and stone fruit flavors to the ripe, honeyed mineral backbone of the Catarratto in this unique blend. There is plenty of flesh here, and our price is outrageous - several dollars less than anywhere else in the country and over 40% below the Wine Advocate reference price!

(10/17/2019) "This wine sees the Sicilian grape Catarratto blended with a tiny 5% of Viognier that serves to add some mild floral intensity. The 2018 Catarratto Barbazzale is indeed fragrant and bright with a neutral bouquet at the base that offers some good vertical intensity in the form of passion fruit and honeysuckle. Those aromas take a little while to rise, but the wine does come into full focus within a few minutes, offering an informal and accessible profile from Etna and good value too. Drink Date: 2019 - 2022."
