"A well-made Etna, very fresh and vivid with orange-peel and strawberry character. Medium-bodied, it has fine, vertical tannins and a lightly chewy finish. Nicely structured."

"A tightly meshed version, offering a core of chalky tannins enmeshed with chopped cherry and wild strawberry fruit, aromatic lavender, thyme and woodsy spices. This is focused and gives the sense of broad shoulders without being weighty. Tar-tinged finish."

"A darker and deeper shade of red, the 2022 Etna Rosso Contrada Dafara Galluzzo smolders up with an inviting bouquet of dried roses, ash, red currants and orange zest. This is silky-smooth, elegant and refined, with a soothing wave of ripe red and blue fruits energized by a core of zesty acidity. It leaves a crunchy tart-cranberry concentration to linger, finishing firm as a coating of fine-grained tannins resonates. Patience will be required yet also rewarded—the Dafara Galluzzo has an underlying power and complexity that only time will unfurl."
