The 2018 Tornatore Trimarchisa Etna Rosso DOC is a premium single-contrada red from Sicily’s Mount Etna, crafted primarily from Nerello Mascalese with a small portion of Nerello Cappuccio. It reflects a refined, terroir-driven style with elegance, minerality, and depth. The nose is complex and expressive, showing red and black cherry, dried rose, spice, and smoky volcanic notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant acidity, offering layered red fruit, savoury nuances, and a distinctive mineral edge, leading to a long, fresh, and structured finish. The style is elegant yet concentrated, combining finesse with aging potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A top-tier Etna red for customers seeking a refined, Burgundy-like wine with volcanic character. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 5–10 years. Perfect with lamb, game, or mushroom dishes.
