Decanter (94)- "60-year-old vines provide the fruit for this 24-month barrel-aged Riserva. Bright red and black cherry scents are underlined by balsamic and floral touches. Chalky tannins support a concentration of pomegranate, cherry and chocolate, with a spicy attack of tangy red fruits leading to a bold, dank and earthy mid-palate. The finish is fresh, stony and balsamic."
James Suckling (93)- "This is a wild and earthy red with notes of watermelon, walnuts, ash, mineral and earth. It’s medium-bodied and chewy. Long, salty and savory. Drink or hold. "
Vinous Media (93)- "The 2019 Etna Rosso Zottorinoto is darkly floral and earthy in the glass, with a blend of grilled herbs, crushed rocks and blackberries forming its bouquet. This displays silky textures and masses of mineral-tinged red and black fruits. Hints of cocoa emerge toward the close. It finishes with a coating of fine tannins and a staining of primary concentration, offset by a bump of residual acidity that maintains fantastic freshness despite its youthfully structured state."
