"Unpeeled hunks of ginger, whole cloves, and juicy pears headline the nose of this dry Furmint from a First Growth vineyard with clay and volcanic soils. The palate is beautifully dry and crisp, with fresh and stewed pears alongside tart lemon juice and rind. The long, citrus-forward finish will have you reaching for your next sip—and asking for a second glass—before you know it."

"An impressive version, with intense flavors, a creamy texture and wonderful harmony. Offers ripe peach, melon and apricot notes, plus salted butterscotch, toasted fennel seed and orange blossom accents. A touch of shortbread and spices echoes on the long, mouthwatering finish, where the acidity reveals vibrant facets."

"With a garnet hue, it features blackberry and herb aromas, with subtle cherry notes. Dry and plush on the palate, it leaves a balanced and lingering impression with an expressive final whiff."

“Unusually generous for Provençal Rosé, this shows a soft bouquet at the outset, but then very ripe flavors recalling red berries. Fully medium-bodied, this is not in the wispy style that many wine lovers now associate with Provence Rosé. I once overheard someone bemoan that style by quipping, “I’d like some wine in my wine,” and that person would be very pleased by this release.”

"The 2019 Etna Bianco Superiore Pietra Marina captivates. It’s perfumed and floral, with enriching notes of almond paste and confectionery spice that perfectly accentuate a smoky core of white peaches. There’s more lift on the palate, but it's a little backward, possessing wiry textures and an intense mineral core that adds depth to its citrus-inflected orchard fruits. Nervous acidity forces the mouth to water and maintains a dazzling freshness as inner florals resonate and a sour lime concentration settles in."

"Dark and dusty, the 2018 Etna Rosso Riserva Serra della Contessa Particella No. 587 wafts up with unexpected richness as plum sauce and cinnamon spice combine with rubbed sage and hints of white smoke. This sweeps across the palate, soft, elegant and medium in body. A saturation of red and blue fruits drenches the palate in primary concentration while edgy tannins tug at the cheeks."

"The 2021 Nerello Cappuccio is dark and brooding in the glass. Hints of sage and balsamic spice complicate dried black cherries on the nose. It’s much more giving on the palate, pleasantly ripe in style with a wave of tart wild berry fruits and saline minerals that saturate, adding tension toward the close. The 2021 tapers off with a staining of primary concentration, gently grippy tannins and a bitter tinge of tart blackberry that lingers on and on."

"The 2018 Etna Rosso Riserva Rovittello Particella No. 341 lifts from the glass with a spice-box bouquet, mixing camphor with cloves, incense, black cherries, burnt orange and a dusting of cocoa. It’s lifted and finessed with silky textures over a wiry framework. Tart wild berry fruits saturate, and cedary spice resonates toward the close. The 2018 finishes structured and pleasantly bitter as hints of dark chocolate and blackberry linger on and on. This is an excellent effort in a challenging vintage."

"The NV Rosso Passito mixes sweet black cherries with minty herbs and a spike of spiced orange. It's pleasantly sweet yet vibrant and lifted in style. Silky textures and masses of ripe red and blue fruits run through, joining hints of licorice, mocha and expresso on the long and staining finish. Through it all, the Rosso remains quite fresh."

"The NV Bianco Passito is exotic in the glass, with a tropical air of citrus and florals. Soothingly soft and round, it splashes across the palate with minty herbal freshness and a wave of ripe peaches and green melon, all balanced by candied citrus. It cleans up quite well, finishing with a potent saturation of sweet spice."

"There's fine clarity to this steely white, with a mineral underpinning. Offers a mix of stony austerity and easygoing orchard fruit flavors, gathering intensity from beginning to end, with an aftertaste of lemon, vanilla and stone accents."

"This elegant, complex and firmly structured version is interwoven with lemon, peach, apple, floral and flint aromas and flavors. A steely edge and vibrant acidity drive the extensive aftertaste."

"Generous yet elegant in structure, offering lovely flavors of lemon verbena and orange peel, with an almond hint on the finish."

"A lithe and lively white, with a mineral underpinning, showing a lovely range of Gala apple, nectarine, quince blossom and green almond notes. Well-spiced finish."

"Graphite dominates the nose, with restrained wild blackberry, meat, balsamic and aromatic herb notes. The attack is smooth, with a full body, youthful fruit character and muscular yet super-refined tannins allied to refreshing acidity and a polished tobacco aftertaste.”

"Pure and elegant, with saturated flavors of violet, black currant, blackberry, licorice and iron. This is so beautifully balanced that it feels almost seamless, even at this young stage, offering a sleek profile and endless aftertaste that echoes the fruit. The oak is very well-integrated, with polished tannins."

“Open with fragrant notes of red cherry, cream, and wildflowers. A touch reductive yet elegantly structured with edgy acidity. Dense, chalky tannins reminiscent of Serralunga Barolo. Deep, youthful mahogany tones, transitioning from sweet to savoury, begging for food. Ripe, solid and austere tannins with a spicy nutmeg finish.”

“Nose of wild flowers and red cherries. Dense, silky-textured palate. Plenty of tannins but fine, adding a chalky grip to the finish.”

"Lush and creamy in texture, with flavors of raspberry puree, dried cherry, star anise and violet gliding across the palate. Well-honed, succulent acidity keeps this fresh and focused, while a minerally underpinning of stone and smoke emerges to drive the lightly chewy finish."

"Juicy, punchy and forthright, with a mix of loganberry, black cherry and boysenberry fruit flavors leading the way. Gently singed black tea and hibiscus notes fuel the finish as the fruit lingers."
