"The entry-level Cottanera 2020 Etna Rosso Diciassettesalme is lean in texture and very true to Nerello Mascalese with dusty, dark fruit and ashy tones of campfire amber and scorched mineral. I like the simplicity of this wine and its easy-drinking style, which would face off just fine with a classic plate of cacio e pepe, a favorite dish of Roman cuisine. In fact, you taste a hint of black pepper on the close. This is a 30,000-bottle production."

"The wet, gravely scent of fresh rain on cobblestones joins red apple and cherries on the nose before the palate offers cherries, strawberries, vanilla and cola with a warm, spiciness at the back. Polished tannins coat the mouth before acid punches through. DANIELLE CALLEGARI"
