Tornatore Trimarchisa Etna Rosso 2018

Youthful and grippy wine, it effortlessly makes its way to the decanter and is savored over the next three hours, pairing elegantly with a 3-inch cut ribeye steak. The cook time was almost 1.5 hours, and the result is a wine that has fully matured, revealing a voluptuous and sophisticated profile. The nose is defined by by deep cherries, with super mineral and bloodied notes, in contrast the tanginess and minerality provide a crisp contrast. As the hour passes, the wine becomes drinkable, with a lingering close that exhibits the Nerello Mascalese's best qualities.

Well-balanced Etna rosso, but not to my taste

Voluptuous and evolved Etna Rosso, with a seamless blend of nerello mascalese and nerello cappuccio. The nose is highlighted by by flavors of flint, dried cherry, and thyme, with a subtle accent of mineral undertones. As the wine ages, the tannins soften, and the notes become more integrated. The lasting impression is long and satisfying, with a lingering stewed raspberry note.
