Etna, Italy

Salmon-pink with a copper blush, this Nerello Mascalese rosato opens with ripe white peach, cantaloupe, and a lift of peppery florals, a scent profile that's both delicate and expressive. On the palate it's silky and generous, orchard fruit meeting a bright citrus tang and a subtle spice that keeps things lively. Acidity and volcanic mineral salinity stretch through a persistently long finish, with a faint rose-petal note hovering underneath it all. Graceful and complete.
