Aromas of redcurrants, berries, soy, spice and ash follow through to a full body with round and polished tannins that are beautifully crafted and poised. Very fine-grained, silky texture. Persistent and beautiful. Drink or hold.

The nose on this reserve Etna Rosso is floral at first, but then grows rich with new leather and strong aromas of tar. Wild strawberry and cranberry on the palate are contrasted with metallic notes of black olive and herbaceous notes of wild herbs. A taut ensemble that shows the maturity of age but remains vibrant. — Danielle Callegari

This graceful red shows poise and focused presence to the flavors of baked strawberry and raspberry, dried mint and rose petal, iron and leather. Offers a finely meshed, subtle profile, expanding on the silky palate and deftly merging with supple tannins. Drink now through 2027. 214 cases made, 100 cases imported.

91+ The 2016 Etna Rosso Rovittello Particella No. 341 Riserva opens slowly in the glass, at first backward, dusty and dark, with only nuances of dried roses to be found. Swirling adds further hints of red currant, shaved cedar and sage, yet it doesn’t fully unlock what’s beneath this youthful exterior. It washes across the palate with a more energetic expression; at first, it is silky in feel, yet has a salty mineral core and zesty acids that add grip as potent red berry fruits penetrate deeply. What remains are silty tannins that dry the senses, along with a bitter twang of savory brown spice, as the 2016 finishes with hulking structure and a hint of sour cherry that lingers. Frankly, it’s hard to tell where this is going; so for now, I remain conservative. - Eric Guido
