Eruzione 1614 Nerello Mascalese 2016

- 91 points -

Here's a slightly more accessible wine from Etna (even though it carries a Sicilia appellation). The 2016 Sicilia Nerello Mascalese Eruzione 1614 is a steady, mid-weight wine with wild fruit and a touch of garden herb that recalls grilled oregano or wild sage. The wine is silky in texture but also mild and mellow in terms of its impact in the mouth. It could flesh out further with more time in the bottle.
