A delicate, light red with a light colour, sliced stawberry and cream character, a medium body and a fresh finish. Lovely drinking wine now. 90 points. James Suckling

This was showing beautifully last night and really epitomises the quality coming from Sicily at the moment. Local varietal Nerello Mascalese offers succulent red fruit with structure and power, and this Rosso is a wonderful example. A very expressive and generous bouquet of strawberries, redcurrants and notes of sweet brambles explode from the glass. This is pale in colour but do not be fooled as there is power and real va va voom on the palate. Lots of sweet fruit is backed up by silky tannins and uplifting freshness. The minerality comes from the volcanic soils of Mt Etna and with hints of spice sneaking in on the finish this delicious wine has extraordinary depth. Pietradolce's Etna Rosso will accompany charcuterie, hard cheeses and light lunches perfectly. For me though, I would lightly chill it and serve it with a rare roast beef sandwhich (complete with spicy rocket and a dollop of horseradish). For a slightly more serious version, the Archineri is the next level up, but you will need a couple of years for that to soften.
