"Focused and intense, the 2022 Etna Rosso 20 Anniversario unfurls with a captivating bouquet of autumnal spices, dusty rose and blood orange, followed by nuances of dried cherries. It floods the palate with vibrant wild berry fruit and mineral tones, propelled by a core of zesty acidity over a wave of silken textures. A primary concentration lingers along with sweet tannins through the violet-laced finale as delicate notes of confectionery spice gently taper off. The 20 Anniversario originates from a selection of vines planted in 2006 and 2007 within the Calderara Sottana Cru. This is not to be missed. 94 points" Vinous Media
