The 2022 Tornatore Etna Rosso is a refined Sicilian red from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, crafted primarily from Nerello Mascalese with a touch of Nerello Cappuccio. It reflects a classic Etna style—elegant, mineral-driven, and fresh. The nose is bright and expressive, showing red cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, layered with floral notes, herbs, and a distinctive smoky, volcanic minerality.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, chalky tannins and vibrant acidity. Juicy red fruit and savoury elements are balanced by a saline mineral edge, leading to a clean, structured, and persistent finish. The style is elegant yet energetic, combining finesse with drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A great pick for customers who enjoy Pinot Noir or Nebbiolo-style wines with freshness and minerality. Drink now or over the next 4–6 years. Perfect with roasted meats, pasta, or mushroom dishes.
