Terre Nere Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo 2018

Dense and muscular, this departs sharply from Nerello Mascalese's typical ethereal style. Black cherry and cassis meld with balsamic reduction and cardamom spice. The volcanic soils add a smoky mineral backbone, but formidable tannins dominate the finish. Built for the cellar. Give it 3-5 years to find its grace.
