Tasting notes
The light ruby-colored 2016 Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana displays a medium-bodied, savory, incredibly mineral-laced style that builds nicely with time in the glass. Notes of ripe cherries, dried herbs, and dusty minerality all flow from this elegant, lively red that shines for its purity of fruit, complexity, and balanced character.

Tenuta delle Terre Nere selected three single-vineyard wines that it classifies as Grande Terroir Ellittico; the 2016 Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana is one of those three wines. The wine does indeed show a higher level of complexity and increased depth that is especially apparent in the mouth. The wine has a firm tannin backbone that bodes very well for its future evolution. This is a crisp, sharp and structured Etna red wine. Nerello Mascalese is blended with 2% Nerello Cappuccio. Some 14,000 bottles were made.
