Decanter om: Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana Late Release Grand Cru

Another of Terre Nere's ‘Grande Terroir Ellittico’ wines, Calderara Sottana is from stonier, rockier volcanic soil than even San Lorenzo to the west. Vinified and aged in the same way – as are all of Marco De Grazia's contrada reds – it offers a deep, full aroma of pure red and black fruits with some violet, spice, balsam and cocoa overtones. Fleshy, succulent and sapid, this is an incredibly beautiful Nerello Mascalese, with purity of red fruits underlined by some spice and stoniness, a hint of salinity and a long, silky, creamy finish. So inviting. 96/100

Galloni om: Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana Late Release Grand Cru

Depths of spiced black cherries, blood orange, dried herbs and cigar ash form a beguiling bouquet as the 2021 Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana Selezione Speciale smolders up from the glass. This reveals amazing energy and grace, with silky textures lifted by bright acidity and crisp red berry fruits that flow across a core of crunchy minerality. The 2021 finishes pleasantly chewy, still quite firm, leaving behind adolescent tannins as hints of wild strawberry fade.

Suckling om: Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana Late Release Grand Cru

This is more vibrant with red berries, blood oranges, light spices and hints of terra-cotta. Medium-bodied, juicy and fruit-forward with tangy acidity and dusty tannins. Hints of bitter orange at the end. Long and chalky yet very attractive and enjoyable now. Drink or hold. 95/100
