2018 Aeris Etna Rosso Centenari (750mL)

Cultivated from venerable 100-year-old Nerello Mascalese vines in the esteemed Montelaguardia Contrada, this wine is a radiant testament to the ancient volcanic soils of Mount Etna’s northern slopes. The aromas offer a striking fusion of freshness and volcanic complexity, with a vivid bouquet of blue fruits providing an enticing prelude to the deeper, more intricate layers that follow. Gracefully combining the intensity of old vines with the vivacity of its mountain origins, the palate reveals a wine of exceptional balance, structure and textural finesse. Bright, fresh acidity elegantly wraps around a dense core of blue and black fruits, creating a seamless interplay of flavors, while the volcanic terroir imparts a unique, mineral-rich character that adds depth and dimension to the vibrant fruit.

94 Points – Vinous, Eric Guido “A model of grace and elegance.”
