The 2017 Tornatore Trimarchisa Etna Rosso DOC is a premium single-contrada wine from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, crafted mainly from Nerello Mascalese with a small portion of Nerello Cappuccio. It represents a richer, more structured expression of Etna Rosso with strong aging potential. The nose is complex and layered, showing wild berry, black cherry, and cassis, with notes of smoke, flint, spice, and subtle oak.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering concentrated dark fruit and mineral depth, leading to a long, structured, and persistent finish. The style is powerful yet refined, combining volcanic minerality with depth and elegance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A top-tier Etna red for customers seeking a structured, cellar-worthy wine with complexity and character. Best enjoyed with decanting or aged over 8–12 years. Perfect with lamb, game, or rich Mediterranean dishes.
