Terre Nere Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo 2021

Volcanic ash and crushed herbs define the aromatics, with bright red cherry and alpine florals emerging slowly. The palate shows impressive energy. Tart cranberry and dried violets carried by fine-grained tannins that grip firmly yet release cleanly. Licorice and mineral dust linger on the finish. The structural framework is solid, though the fruit feels somewhat restrained and may need careful cellaring to find full expression.
