Vinous Media (93)- "The 2022 Etna Rosso Vigna Iannazzo is fresh and floral in character, with fragrances of crushed blackberries, stone dust, dried herbs and spiced blood orange. This is sleek with radiant red berry fruits, crunchy mineral tones and a sour citrus tinge toward the close. The conclusion is long and staining with a resonance of exotic spice and licorice."
Gambero Rosso (Tre Bicchieri )- "The Contrada Feudo di Mezzo Vigna Iannazzo ’22 is an extremely elegant red wine of great structure and character, with dense and austere tannins and a soft, harmonious, and very long finish. Cottanera is one of the largest and most established wineries on Mount Etna. The estate, founded in the 1960s as a hazelnut grove, is run by the Cambria family, now in its third generation, and is represented by Mariangela, Francesco, and Emanuele. The estate has 110 hectares of land (65 under vine) on the typical black volcanic soils, at altitudes between 700 and 800 meters. The grape varieties include the native Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante, and Catarratto, as well as other fine international varieties."
Vinous Media (93)- "Dusty dried rose and earth tones combine with nuances of ash and black cherry as the 2021 Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo smolders up from the glass. It's soft and round in feel, with ripe berry fruits, hints of sour citrus and a touch of spice. The 2021 resonates with edgy tannins, offset by a bump of residual acidity as a tart tinge of wild blueberry lingers."
