98 points James Suckling: "A whole garden of summer flowers pour from the glass, together with hints of cola nut and wild strawberry. A phenomenally concentrated Etna red with stunningly fine tannins that give this a structure that’s as big as Mount Etna itself. So much power at the finish, yet this remains very precise and graceful. Made from over 100-year-old pre-phylloxera nerello mascalese and nerello cappuccio vines. It was 24 months in French oak, but that's almost completely invisible. Limited quantity. Drink or hold. (8/30/21)"

95 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2015 Etna Rosso Rovittello Riserva is coy and understated, offering up hints of black cherry, dusty rose and flowery undergrowth. It’s silky yet youthfully dense in feel and quite savory, the salty minerals and spice taking center stage, while black fruits and grippy tannins come forward more toward the finish, and finishes youthfully dry and structured, allowing only nuances of currant and purple-tinged florals to resonate. This new Rovittello Riservais sourced from a small parcel of pre-phylloxera vines on Etna’s northern slope. After a long maceration, the wine spends 24 months refining in large, 15-hectoliter French oak casks. There’s certainly a lot of potential here, and it will be very interesting to follow the wine’s development over time. Drink: 2023-2033. (Jun 2021)"
