Pietradolce Rosso is reminiscent of an elegant red from Burgundy. Sparkling, intense garnet red colour. Light, aromatic tones of cherry, raspberry, slate, cigar tobacco and cedar wood, medium-bodied and very energetic on the palate, flavoursome fruit, salty, balanced and long. Be sure to aerate! SUPERIORE.DE

"Lightly mouthwatering and enticing, layering creamy tannins with crushed cherry and tar flavors, plus accents of tea rose, orange zest and clove. Harmonious, with a lingering, spiced finish." Wine Spectator

"Grapefruit, fresh cranberries and minerals on the nose. Fresh and almost tangy on the palate with savoury citrus fruits and a firm tannin structure. Pleasantly grippy and structured." James Suckling

"The predominantly cool, fresh and earthy nose also reveals tart, subtly warm aromas of tea leaves, hibiscus, plums, cranberries and orange peel. On the palate, these fruit flavours are underlined by almost metallic citrus and pepper notes. The acidity fizzes in the background." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2022 Etna Rosso rises from the glass with a bouquet that mixes spicy and sweet notes: Wild berries, cloves, grilled herbs and wet concrete. It is fruit-driven, with masses of ripe black cherry accentuated by a hint of sweet spice, while a gentle tannic colour develops towards the end. The 2022 finishes remarkably fresh, enlivened by a hint of juicy acidity as the rosy, floral notes gradually fade. It is an excellent introduction to the Pietradolce style." Vinous
