Giovanni Rosso Etna Rosso 2019

This highly elegant and beautifully structured volcanic red wine opens with a fragrant, high-toned bouquet of wild red berries, tart cherries, and crushed pomegranates, intricately layered with sophisticated notes of volcanic ash, blood orange peel, wild thyme, and a hint of white pepper. On the medium-bodied palate, it mirrors the graceful weight of a fine Burgundy combined with the structural tension of a classic Piedmontese red, delivering a core of energetic red fruit framed by chalky, fine-grained tannins and a vibrant mineral acidity that carries into a long, beautifully savory finish.

Food Pairing: An exceptional partner for gastronomy; pairs exquisitely with seared duck breast, roasted squab, mushroom risottos, grilled tuna steaks, or traditional pasta dishes featuring rich tomato and wild herb sauces.

A lovely nose of hibiscus, red cherries and dried herbs. Medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins. Very well structured, with an array of red fruit and berries wrapped around the tannins. It goes on for a while. Ash comes through at the finish. Best after 2024.
