93 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "[$45 list] Darkly floral and opening slowly in the glass, the 2021 Etna Rosso smolders up with a nuanced blend of crushed rocks and dried roses. It’s soothingly round with medium-bodied weight and a saline mineral tinge up front that gives way to depths of tart cherry-berry fruits. The 2021 tapers off structured, long, yet beautifully balanced, with red inner florals and lingering exotic spice hints. This is punching well above the category of Rosso, but it will need some cellaring to come fully together. Drink: 2024-2028. (Sep 2023)"

93 points James Suckling: "Crunchy cranberries, violets, allspice, and a hint of nutmeg undertones. Light- to medium-bodied with juicy and silky tannins supported by a bright backbone of acidity. Balanced finish. Drink or hold. (9/6/23)"

92 points Decanter: "Alberto Graci ferment his Etna rosso traditionally in cement and large oak vats with no temperature control. A 20-day maceration is followed by ageing for 18 months in the same types of vessels, where the wine undergoes malo. Pure and fresh red and black berry aromas with a hint of petrichor lead to a bright and energetic palate with lovely concentration of tangy fruits. Quite sturdy yet lively, it finishes with incisive juicy acidity and balsam, and a touch of spice and chocolate. Delicious, and good value. Drinking Window: 2023-2032. (May 2023)"
