"So perfumed and dreamy with flowers, citrus and hints of stone. Medium-bodied, this has fine tannins and lovely fruit in the caressing center-palate. The fresh, vivid finish ends with a bit of muscle. Drink or hold."

"Aromas of fragrant purple flower, wild herb, dark-skinned fruit, cocoa and a whiff of resin form the nose on the radiant 2022 Mogannazzi. Showing vibrancy and elegant restraint, the full-bodied palate offers ripe raspberry, red currant, dark spice and dried mint set against tight, close-grained tannins that leave a firm finish. Flinty mineral and racy acidity provide lots of youthful tension. Give it a few more years to fully integrate. Drink 2027–2037. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O'Keefe July 2024"

"The 2022 Etna Rosso Moganazzi is dusty, floral and lifted, with an air of confectionery spices and chalk dust that gives way to dried black cherries. This is round and supple, with a lavender-laced blend of red and blue fruits that swirl across a stream of brisk acidity. Grippy tannins come forward through the finale as the 2022 tapers off long and perfumed. A dusting of violet candies punctuates the experience beautifully."
