The 2022 Etna Rosso Contrada Chiappemacine, tasted from barrel, is rosy and perfumed with hints of exotic spice, giving way to notes of dried strawberry. This is supple and round, quite elegant in feel, with crisp minerality and crunchy wild berry fruits. There's an abundance of energy within, along with a balance of primary concentration. The 2022 tapers off long, structured and fresh. The potential here is very high. Contrada Chiappemacine blends volcanic soils at higher elevations with limestone in the lower parts. This is an understated beauty.
