90 Pts Antonio Galloni - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2008 Etna Rosso is a wonderful introduction to the wines of the Etna. This Nerello Mascalese-Nerello Cappuccio blend reveals gorgeous, translucent red fruit, flowers and spices in a soft, approachable style that is irresistible. Sweet notes of mint and flowers linger on the elegant finish. The Etna Rosso compares quite favorably with a top-notch villages-level Burgundy at a fraction of the price. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014."

"I have to say I was deeply impressed with the wines I tasted from Firriato this year. Across the board this is a very solid line-up, which is particularly impressive considering the estate's production is now nearly 5 million bottles per year spread across numerous properties in Sicily. Firriato is among the new entrants in the Etna, and those wines are among the highlights." - 90 Points - Antonio Galloni - The Wine Advocate

VITICULTURE:
"Nerello Mascalese 80% and Nerello Cappuccio 20% Territory of Castiglione di Sicilia (Catania, Sicily) Loamy –sandy of volcanic origin, highly draining North eastern side of the Volcano (500/600 metres above sea level)" -Winemaker

VINIFICATION:
"The vinification carried out in controlled-temperature steel tanks in accordance to red wines tradition. The malolactic fermentation is carried out. 6 months in durmast barriques" -Winemaker

WINE:
"Bright ruby red with lively shades of purple. It affords typically mineral, ripe and elegant notes that unfold alternating intense and distinct scents of blackcurrants, prune jam, black cherries, liquorice, pepper and wilted violet. Well-balanced and harmonious, it develops with energy and liveliness; it is rich, warm and refined, with suave tannins of extraordinary lineage; the lingering aroma and rewarding and juicy finale are noteworthy."

"It is a classical wine that fully expresses its extraordinary terroir, namely that of Mount Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano; the unique sharpness and overwhelming and austere character are blended with the enjoyable exquisiteness." -Winery

VARIETIES:
"Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio are grown almost exclusively in the Sicily and Sardinia regions of Italy. An Italian study published in 2008 determined that these varieties are most closely related genetically to Sangiovese."

The Wine Spectator also scored this wine 86 Points.
