The 2022 Etna Rosso Contrada Sciaranuova is youthfully coy, with a dusty blend of dried owers, earth tones and ash wafting up from the glass. Silky yet lifted and nessed, it sweeps across the palate with medium-weight textures and bright red berry fruits. Its minerality comes through on the nish, enhanced by a bump of brilliant acidity as it tapers o long, staining and with crunchy tannins that resonate on. Utterly classic. While backward today, the Sciaranuova is harmonious and shows incredible potential. Tasted from barrel.
