CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - "Showing its Etna pedigree, this dry, delicious rosato opens with aromas of scorched soil, Mediterranean brush, ash and small red berries. The bright, savory palate features strawberry, pomegranate, wild herbs and orange zest alongside bright, tangy acidity. It closes on a saline note. So far, this is the best rosato I've had from Etna"
