Pietradolce Etna Rosso 2022

93 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Hailing from vines planted between 700-800m above sea level in Solicchiata, the 2022 Etna Rosso from Pietradolce is a fantastic entry-level Etna Rosso with red berry, spice, floral and wet stone aromas. Aged for three months in large French casks, it’s elegant and savory, offering flavors of raspberry compote, bitter orange, cinnamon, licorice,m wild herb and saline alongside polished tannins. Drink through 2030. (Jun 2024)"

93 points Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Precise and essential in the sensory profile, it shows notes of currant, cherry, lemon juice, mixed white flowers and mandarin peel. Medium body, well-made round tannins and a tasty and well-centered finish. Drink now. (Jul 2023)"

92 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2022 Etna Rosso lifts from the glass with a bouquet that mixes savory and sweet: woodland berries, cloves, grilled herbs and wet concrete. This is fruit-focused, with masses of ripe black cherries accentuated by hints of sweet spice as a gentle staining of tannins forms toward the close. The 2022 finishes remarkably fresh, enlivened by a bump of juicy acidity as rosy inner florals gradually taper off. This makes for an excellent introduction to the Pietradolce style. Drink 2024-2028 (Jun 2024)"

92 points Zekun Shuai (JamesSuckling.com): "Grapefruit, fresh cranberries and mineral on the nose. Fresh and almost tangy on the palate with zesty citrus and a firm backbone of tannins. Nicely grippy and structured. Drink in a year or two. (Aug 2023)"

92 points Falstaff Guide: "Radiant, transparent ruby red colour. Fine notes of currants, delicate nuances of gunpowder and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate elegant, with lively acidity, fine but vivid tannins, savoury, persistent finish. (Oct 2023)"
