Description

Medium Body, Dry (Nerello Mascalese). DOC. Alc 13%.

Winery's classic line.

VINTAGE NOTE: 5/5 "Exceptional" WSG (Wine Scholar Guild).

TASTING NOTES: Classic Etna nose (mineral - crushed rocks) with hints of red berries, peach, nectarine; some hints of under-ripe tropical fruit (pineapple); refreshing, mouth-watering, well-balanced acidity; delicate and elegant palate; will continue to evolve in the bottle so try it now and come back to try it later too!

"A model small estate making top-level authentically regional wines from mostly old vines, including several pre-phylloxera parcels" begins the write-up by Master Sommelier John Szabo in his fabulous 2016 book "Volcanic Wines - Salt, Grit and Power".

The passage continues "Michele Faro's grandfather grew grapes and made wine on Etna, and some of the oldest parcels were in family hands, so he got off to a running start in 2005. Vineyards are on the north side, all above 600m: tiny Barbagalli with gnarled centenary bush-trained Nerello Mascalese is the highest and most precious, yielding succulent, spectacularly balanced wines, with endless finish. Cru Archineri is nearly as impressive, also from old vines planted a few metres below Barbagalli. Steely, flinty-mineral Archineri Bianco is from 10-year-old+ Carricante near Milo on Erna's east side. Infinitely drinkable Etna Rosso from younger albarello-trained vines is well proportioned with delicate red fruit. Purpose-made Etna Rosato from 40-year-old trellised vines rounds out the superb range."
