Grabbed it on a recommendation from the shop and I am glad I did. The finish is much longer than I expected.

Volcanic ash, rose petal, red cherry. Bright acidity keeps it lively through the meal. The tannin is firm and needs food or air.

From the importer
Why we buy this one.
Black volcanic terraces on Etna’s northern face, up at 900 meters where the nights are cold. Hand-harvested in small crates, sorted twice, and pressed whole-cluster. It is the kind of bottle that disappears at the table without anyone deciding to open a second.

Exactly what I wanted
Not a shy wine — give it twenty minutes in a decanter and it opens right up.

Perfect with Sunday dinner
Paired it with a slow-cooked ragù and it was close to perfect. Will be reordering by the case.
