2022 Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso Anniversario Calderara Sottana

"This is a special bottling for the 20th anniversary of the estate. It has depth and intensity with a medium to full body, a creamy stone and basalt texture, red fruits and a mushroom and bark undertone. The linear, vivid finish goes on and on. Needs time to open. Be patient." James Suckling, Score: 95 POINTS
