James Suckling, July 2024 (Vintage 2022)

There is freshness here with redcurrants, pomegranate, black pepper, flowers and earthy notes. Medium- to full-bodied, this has sweet fruit on the palate, velvety tannins, an integrated, refreshing acidity and a brilliant finish. Delicious to drink now, though this crunchy wine has aging potential.

Danielle Callegari, December 2024 (Vintage 2022)

The nose features savory, tangy aromas of coffee, potting soil, cranberries, dried cherries and bitter orange. The palate is earthy and has a metallic depth, but more of those cranberry, cherry and citrus notes provide a balancing buoyancy. Waves of acid bend firm yet flexible tannins.

Monica Larner, April 2025 (Vintage 2022)

The Girolamo Russo 2022 Etna Rosso 'a Rina is a 40,000-bottle blend of 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio. The winemaking approach consists of a simple formula that sees equal parts oak, cement and stainless steel. Fruit comes from across several sites, including Contrade Feudo, San Lorenzo and Calderara Sottana, which are fermented separately. It shows a mid-weight appearance and dark ruby highlights. The bouquet offers an interesting mix of dried berry, star anise, pressed rose and a savory side with licorice and barbecue spice. The effect is quite open, immediate and charming, fundamentally.
