A single-contrada Etna Rosso from 50-year-old vines planted by massal selection in the 1970s at 500m altitude, with about 20% whole-bunch maceration and 18 months aging in tonneaux. Shows strawberries, lemon zest, watermelon and peaches on the nose, soft and smooth on the attack with velvety tannins and crisp, lifted acidity.

94+ Points
"he 2022 Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana is dusty, with a beguiling blend of rose petals and geraniums giving way to cloves and woodland berries. Cool-toned and pliant, this maintains its floral character throughout while adding hints of sour citrus that add primary depths. Calderara Sottana
minerality and gripping tannins come through on the finish as the 2022 leaves the senses saturated, while a resonance of brown spice lingers on. Have patience with this beastly effort—it may be even better with time.
