Tasting notes
The Calcagno Etna Rosato DOC Romice delle Sciare 2019 presents a luminous, pale salmon hue. The aromatic profile is intricate, revealing delicate notes of wild strawberry, redcurrant, and rose petal, underpinned by a distinctive volcanic minerality and a hint of citrus zest. On the palate, the wine is remarkably precise and vibrant, with a taut acidity that frames a core of red berry fruit. A saline minerality, characteristic of Etna's terroir, persists through the mid-palate, leading to a long, dry, and refreshing finish. This rosato exhibits excellent structural integrity and a compelling expression of its origin.
