Tasting notes
The Idda 2022 Etna Rosso shows medium color saturation with dark ruby and garnet highlights. The bouquet embraces more concentrated aromas of plump cherry and damson plum. There is a spicy hint of cinnamon, sweet spice and even a pinch of peppermint. With time, some of those purely Sicilian aromas of olive and toasted fennel seed add a little more dimension and depth to the bouquet. Idda represents a slightly riper and denser interpretation of Nerello Mascalese for near and medium-term drinking.

The 2022 Etna Rosso tempts the imagination as depths of crushed raspberry come together with rose petals, ground cloves, sage leaf and incense to form its truly captivating bouquet. This is elegant and softly contoured, with silky textures and ripe wild berry fruits that swirl throughout. A core of brilliant acidity and tactile mineral tones builds tension toward the close. It leaves a pleasantly bitter tinge to linger on while tapering off with a coating of fine tannins, hints of licorice and a sensation of liquid stone.
