Tornatore Etna Rosso 2022 is a vividly fresh and gracefully structured Italian red wine that beautifully captures the high-altitude volcanic terroir of Sicily's Mount Etna. Crafted primarily from indigenous Nerello Mascalese, grown on the ashy, basaltic soils of the northern slopes, it pours a bright, pale ruby red hue. The nose is invitingly aromatic, unfolding with clear notes of pristine red cherries, wild strawberry, and crushed raspberries, elegantly layered with nuances of dried Mediterranean herbs, delicate purple flowers, and a distinctive smoky mineral tension. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, crunchy, and brilliantly focused, delivering a vibrant core of crisp red fruit perfectly balanced by fine, chalky tannins and a snappy, mouthwatering acidity. Aged partially in large wooden barrels, it culminates in a highly refreshing, elegant, and stony finish that bears a striking resemblance to a fine Pinot Noir.
Food Pairing: Pairs perfectly with rich meat stews, savory wild mushroom ragù, classic pasta with tomato-based sauces, roasted pork, and grilled sausages.
92 Points - James Suckling
A bright, fruity wine with pristine red cherries, a whiff of flowers and smoky aromas. Medium-bodied, it has a crunchy palate with crisp acidity and chalky tannins, a bit drier in the finish.
