The 2023 Etna Rosso Prephylloxera La Vigna di Don Peppino Calderara Sottana opens like a flower shop on the nose, intensely layered with depths of black cherry and spice. This is more lifted and graceful than expected, with a sour citrus tinge, tart wild berry fruits and mineral tones. Edgy tannins pinch at the cheeks as the 2023 resonates with blue and purple inner florals and a bitter licorice concentration that lingers impossibly long.
James Suckling: 96 Points
Exquisite, this has an intense Mediterranean style with cherry-jelly and strawberry aromas enhanced by licorice, cola, earthy minerality and whiffs of smoke. Medium- to full-bodied. Very chewy and balanced, it•s youthful and tight yet well-woven and refined. Drink or hold.
