"A fresh, salty white, creamy on the palate, with white blossom, lemon thyme and beeswax accents to the flavors of poached pear, crushed almond and Meyer lemon peel."

Wine Spectator

"A refined red, with a taut, well-knit frame of sandy tannins and orange peel acidity structuring flavors of macerated cherry, oolong tea leaf and minerally hints of smoke and stone that drive the lingering finish."

Rovittello Particella No. 341, Etna Rosso DOC Riserva — 2017

Wine Enthusiast

“The nose balances tart cherries and cranberries with savory undertones of pencil lead, herbs and medicinal licorice, before the palate leans into sweeter fruit, without losing that medicinal quality. Contoured tannins and lively acid accentuate a latent, earthy smokiness.”

Etna Rosso DOC — 2021

Wine Enthusiast

“An earthy, savory nose recalls the volcanic soil of Etna’s slopes, while the astringency of cranberries, hibiscus, cherries and fennel provide the sparkle of the Italian sun glinting off the snow. The cherries dance on the palate, but a bitter citrus undertone highlights enduring notes of earth and herbs. Acid buzzes around dusty, chewy tannins.”

Serra della Contessa Particella, No.587, Etna Rosso DOC Riserva — 2017

Wine Enthusiast
94

“The nose effortlessly blends savory aromas of soil, clean wood and salt with the semisweet astringency of hibiscus, rose petals and wild strawberries. On the palate, raspberries briefly bolster the strawberry, before a powerful earthiness takes over. Acid brings a glint of spice as it sparks off polished, smooth tannins.”

Wine Spectator

"An enticing, graceful red, with a perfumed nose of dried rose petal, grilled rosemary and a touch of incense spices. This is plush and supple on the palate, offering a lovely range of dried raspberry and plum skin, plus a subtle underpinning of tar-tinged smoke notes. Hints of orange peel and red licorice linger on the persistent finish."

Pietra Marina, Etna Bianco DOC Superiore — 2018

Wine Enthusiast
95

“The nose is a medley of citrus and tart aromas, with undertones of white pepper and flint providing balance. Melon joins lemon, lime, Mandarin orange and grapefruit on the palate, while stonier, more metallic savory notes support those flavors through a long finish. Complete and satisfying.”

Lamorèmio Brut Rosato Metodo Classico — 2020

Wine Enthusiast
92

“The nose is a savory blend of warm bricks and hibiscus tea, with an undertone of blood orange zest providing pop. The hibiscus continues onto the tart, tangy palate, while astringent notes of cranberry and more pink citrus play off the persistent perlage.”

Wine Spectator

"An enticing red, with aromas of clove, cardamom, crushed pine and dried tea rose drawing you into the glass, where the fragrant thread winds through a silky mesh of plumped cherry, dried strawberry and minerally earth and iron notes. Graceful and harmonious, showing fine, sculpted tannins and a long, fresh finish. Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio."

Pietra Marina, Etna Bianco DOC Superiore — 2018

Wine Spectator

"This graceful white is long and svelte, effortlessly meshing well-honed acidity and a minerally streak of brine and petrol with aromas and flavors of baked peach and apricot, creamed almond, crushed pine and fennel seed, preserved lemon and chamomile. The profile expands on the palate and through the long, creamy finish."

“It's intense and very spicy, with red and black cherry fruits and peppery red berries. Delicate and light on its feet yet intense in flavour, it will be a good partner for a wide variety of cuisine.”

Decanter

“It's quite closed at present, with some cherry and spice notes not giving much away. In the mouth it's chewy and intense, yet vibrant and surprisingly light on its feet. Sour cherry mingles with wood, chocolate and earth, then a lingering spicy finish.” —

Contrada Monte Serra, Etna Rosso DOC — 2021

Decanter

“It's noticeably more garnet than Contrada Cavaliere's ruby and offers up mulchy, earthy fragrances with red fruits and spice. It has lovely acidity, with chocolatey red fruits in the mouth accompanied by plenty of spice, leading to a long woody, balsamic finish.”

Decanter

“Dank and earthy at first, with dark fruits and fine tannins, it opens up with some air to reveal intense, bold black cherry, herbs, balsam and spice, balanced by good acidity. This definitely needs time to reveal its secrets.”

Decanter

“Flinty, smoky and saline, this is a classy white with a stony, vertical character but not at all lacking in body: the richness from the lees combines with beautifully sweet stone fruits to produce an alluring wine, made all the more exciting by a twist of seaweed on the finish.”

Serra della Contessa Particella, No.587, Etna Rosso DOC Riserva — 2017

Decanter

“It shines for its gorgeous wild strawberry perfume, woody and delicate. In the mouth it shows its tight, vertical structure and intense, vibrant and concentrated red fruits, with dusty, woody and balsamic nuances. Light on its feet despite its obvious power and heft, this deserves more time in bottle before opening.”

"Delicate and floral on the nose, this bursts on the palate with its expressive notes of pink grapefruit granita, fleur de sel, ripe yellow pear, anise and chopped Marcona almond. Long and creamy on the minerally finish."
