Amaro dell'Etna has its roots on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily where a little over two dozen herbs, spices and aromatic plants grow. It embodies the volcanic and somewhat mineral nature of Sicilian soil and the ingredients local to there. Even now, after over 100 years, they still follow the original recipe and traditional approaches to production.
It contains no preservatives or artificial colouring agents and has a dark intense flavour thanks to the two-month infusion of herbs … more
Ammasso means a traditional winemaking technique that still today is used to vinify the best parcels in Sicily. This wine is a blend of Nero d'Avola, Nerello Mascalese, Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon.
Benanti offers a great introduction to some of the beautiful wines from Mount Etna, showing to promise of important indigenous grapes such as Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio.
Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio are at home at the high altitude of the Etna volcano and gives wines that are fragrant and mineral-driven. Rose petal and light berry aromas blur and soften the lines of those pretty mineral notes that are so strong at the beginning. The juicy palate evokes red … more
Timpa is the name of the cru from which the grapes hail. The name has its origins in the Sicilian word, "timpa" meaning strong slope. In fact the vineyard climbs up a hill with a degree that exceeds 70%.
The nose has strong notes of yellow peach and apricot, with floral aromas of Sicilian Spanish broom and almond flowers on the finish. On the palate, it is fresh, persistent and has a remarkable acidity that is well-balanced with the alcohol. … more
"Tasted from magnum, the Feudo Montoni 2017 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Vrucara is a certified organic expression of Sicily's vinous protagonist, Nero d'Avola, from a single vineyard planted to ancient pre-phylloxera vines. The fruit is dark and shows medium concentration, pointing to the hot and dry conditions of this growing season. But this native grape thrives in hot weather, allowing for plenty of aromatic expression and depth. Black cherry opens the bouquet, but it follows softly to toasted nut, sweet potting … more
Lagnusa', meaning lazy in local dialect, gives a clue to the naturally low yields inherent to this vineyard. The upside? Smaller, denser berries with greater concentration. This site sits marginally lower than those of the two whites, at 600 metres, and is primarily comprised of sand and clay. The 'Lagnusa' vineyard is the result of grafting pre-phyloxera 'mother plants' some 35 years ago. It is difficult to get a fixed age on this source material, though references exist dating back … more
"The 2020 Passorosso is spicy, showing dried flowers, hints of cardamom and white pepper before its dusty cherry fruit comes to the fore. Soft and enveloping, this impresses with a pure mix of red fruits and inner rose tones guided by cooling acidity. It finishes lightly structured and with a bitter twang of sour berry concentration." 93 points Eric Guido, Vinous
