“A captivating blend of autumnal spice, dried cherries, balsam herbs and ashen stone smolders up from the 2019 Etna Rosso Barbagalli. It’s silky and enveloping yet cool-toned, with shades of lavender and sage that give way to mineral-inflected red and black fruits. Brisk acidity maintains balance as grippy tannins settle in and a tart blackberry saturation lingers on.” Eric Guido,...

“Medium gold hue. A hint of lemon curd and toast to the minerals and pineapple. Nicely phenolic and structured on the palate with bright acidity and some firm tannins. Full-bodied, long and very energetic. Carricante. Delicious now, but can hold, too.” Zekun Shuai, James Suckling

Quite voluminous and juicy, layered and inviting. It shows impressive density and elegance with silky tannins, freshness and harmony. Clay and limestone soil. Aged for 11 months, 33% amphorae.

A firm favourite with real personality but in tiny quantity. Soft, elegant fruit, pretty floral aromas and ripe supple tannins.Malcolm Willatts, Armit Wines
