Terra Costantino – deAetna 2021 – Etna Rosso DOC

The nose reveals some concentration as well as a little power. The nose is not quite there yet. There are notes of pulpy cherry and more slightly fleshy strawberry combined with delicate hints of fleshy plum as well as fine points of violet, almond, a subtle hint of almost oleander and a very discreet touch of pepper. The palate is fruity and reveals juiciness, smoothness, acidity, good definition, tension, accuracy and a discreetly tight tannic structure. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of full-bodied cherry, full-bodied plum and, to a lesser extent, bright wild berries, combined with hints of spice, nutmeg and a subtle hint of toast and mocha (in the background). Tannins are discreetly marked. The aftertaste is tightening. The persistence is juicy.
