"Aromas of dried berries, walnuts, dried herbs and spices. Full-bodied, integrated and very fine with ultra-fine tannins. Rich, tight and balanced. A blend of nerello mascalese and nerello cappuccio." James Suckling

Etna Rosso stammt von den Weinbergen Torreguarino und Pietramarina am Ätna. Feine Gewürznoten im Bouquet, Aromen reifer Himbeeren am Gaumen. Dicht, mit viel Frucht, kompaktes Tannin. Elegant und authentisch. (superiore.de)

"Helles, frisches Rot; schalig, verhalten; saftig, viel, trinkiges Tannin, gewisse Frucht, gute Länge." Merum (JLF)

"Lots of blue fruits with raspberry and lemon character. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Crisp and lively." James Suckling

Frischer Rosato, der nach dunklen Beeren und einem Hauch Lavendel duftet. Klare Frucht am Gaumen, mit eleganter Geschmeidigkeit und nicht zuletzt ansprechender Süffigkeit. (superiore.de)

"Cottanera does a terrific job with its entry-level wines in this newly released vintage. The 2017 Etna Rosato (made with 100% Nerello Mascalese) is a lovely wine with much appeal and an accessible, versatile style. The wine opens to a pale pink color with bright luminosity. It ends with vibrant crispness. Some 17,500 bottles were made." Robert Parker

"A tangy and fruity rosato that is also fresh and lively. Dried peaches, cherries and pumice undertones. Full body and bright acidity. Pretty as always." James Suckling

Aus der noch jungen Etna-Dependance der Familie Cusumano: helles Rubinrot, sehr klares Bouquet mit betont frischen Fruchtnoten nach Beeren, am Gaumen elegant mit mittlerer Kraft, weichem Tannin; saftig, anhaltend und lang. (superiore.de)

"This was a challenging vintage on Etna that showed uneven results across different areas of the volcano. The 2016 Etna Rosso defies those difficulties to show steady aromas of wild berry, rose and blue flower. The wine is dry and almost dusty on the finish with generous flinty mineral tones." Robert Parker

"From the moment you hang your nose in the glass, it’s clear that there are plenty of ripe plums, but not the slightest hint of prune character. However, there is a ton of subtle, herbal nuances in here, too. Powerful and concentrated with plenty of healthy tannins that carry the long, dry finish." James Suckling

Rein und elegant, mit würzigen Kräuteraromen und frischen Fruchtnoten von Kirsche und Johannisbeere. Subtil und mit der nahezu burgundischen Finesse eines Pinot Nero. (superiore.de)

"Lifted raspberry nose and quite sweet raspberry fruit on the palate. Rather low in acidity, but with plenty of fruit on the tannic finish." Jancis Robinson

"Lots of strawberry and lemon aromas that follow through to a full-bodied, layered palate with ripe tannins and dried-fruit and walnut undertones. From organically grown grapes." James Suckling

"The 2017 Etna Rosso is a beautiful wine that manages to effectively communicate both the elegance and the power of this stellar appellation in Sicily. There is also a straightforward or straight-shooting aspect to the wine that adds to its focus and the sharpness of its aromatic delivery. Bright acidity and fine tannins add to that linearity and simplicity. The wine is fermented in large oak casks, and it ages in large oak containers for up to 18 months." Robert Parker

Kräftiges Apricot mit funkelndem Kern. In der Nase nach Marillenjoghurt, reifem Pfirsich, etwas Limette. Ausgewogen mit tollem Zug, leicht spürbares Tannin im Mittelteil, öffnet sich schön weit und fruchtig, endet im Finale mit kräftigem Druck und bleibt dennoch elegant. (superiore.de)

Etna Rosato von Pietradolce erregt nicht nur mit seiner zart-glänzenden Farbe Aufmerksamkeit, das zarte Rosen-Bouquet betört und der Geschmack überzeugt letztendlich mit lebhaften Aromen von Pfirsich, Cranberry und Grapefruit, elegante Mineraltöne begleiten den Abgang. (superiore.de)

"This is really beautiful with sliced peaches and hints of cream and strawberries. Medium body, bright acidity and a clean finish." James Suckling

"Showing a pale pink color, the 2017 Etna Rosato is a true beauty. The bouquet virtually flutters with delicate tones of pink rose and lilac, followed by wild raspberry and red currant. The finish is reductive (the wine is made in stainless steel vats), tonic, pristine and salty in flavor. This is definitely my kind of Rosato. Some 8,000 bottles were made." Robert Parker

Unwiderstehlich Etna: süße Kirschen, Blumen, Gewürze und ein Hauch Minze im Bouquet. Festes und doch harmonisches Tannin im lebendigen, sehr intensiven Geschmack, der sich nie schwer, sondern bis ins Finale elegant präsentiert. (superiore.de)

"Aromas of blueberries, lemons and hints of peaches follow through to a medium body, firm tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Firm and racy. Linear wine." James Suckling

"Bright medium red. Lively aromas of sour red cherry, strawberry, blood orange and botanical herbs on the complex perfumed nose. Then lively on the palate, with juicy, savory red cherry and berry flavors that are very well delineated and precise. A lovely wine that has a vibrant, precise, juicy finish." Antonio Galloni
