Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana 2023

The 2023 Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana is dreamy, with a perfumed bouquet of rose, violet, smoke and sour citrus. This is wildly energetic and spry, with crisp red berry fruits and crunchy mineral tones that create an amazing tactile feel as sweet spice tones resonate throughout. The 2023 closes down hard through the finish, as expected in its youthful state. A saturation of crushed wild blueberry and lavender fades slowly.

A medium red color, the 2023 Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana boasts layered notes of wild cherries, Asian spices, incense, fresh sage, and vanilla. Medium-bodied, it fills the palate with broader ripe tannin, with wonderful definition and more saturating length, as well as a long-lasting finish. It requires time and should only improve.
