Etna Rosato, Tenuta delle Terre Nere, Sicily, Italy 2022
Decanter: “2022 was a beautiful vintage, among the most perfect that Marco de Grazia has ever experienced since he arrived on Etna. ‘This was a perfect year with balanced wines for white, reds and the rosé,’ he says. The summer was dry and warm, but the winter rains helped the vines grow without stress. Harvested in September, sourcing grapes from vineyards of different ages situated between 700 and 850 metres above sea level, the 2022 vintage shows inviting aromas of red cherry, pink grapefruit, ginger and oyster shell. The texture is creamy and velvety, with a savoury acidity that creates length and a multi-layered finish – a wine with depth and freshness. Drink now-2029.” 94 points
