Giovanni Rosso Etna Rosso 2019

Beautiful jewel-like ruby colour, vibrant and expressive, this is just so moreish, with a beautiful grip that holds the sour cherry and fresh raspberry fruits in place. Gentle tannins also, with a subtle intensity. Excellent quality, this is one to shout about and share with friends. A perfect wine for the heat of summer, it has sweetness on the nose but finishes extremely dry with a refreshing signoff. Got to be the best value wine in the September Releases, and shows just what an exciting category Etna Rosso is right now. A 6.5ha estate on the northern slopes of Etna sat at 750m, winemaker Andrea Delpiano is based in Piedmont, but is in Sicily every month. A must buy.

Drink 2023 - 2032

A lovely nose of hibiscus, red cherries and dried herbs. Medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins. Very well structured, with an array of red fruit and berries wrapped around the tannins. It goes on for a while. Ash comes through at the finish. Best after 2024.
