6 pack of 2009 Pietradolce Archineri Etna Rosso (Imports / Italy)

95pts(JS)This shows loads of intense fruit with dark berries and plums. Full bodied, with super velvety and polished tannins and a long, long finish. This is generous and complex. Drink now or hold. James Suckling.com October 2011

Perfumes explode from the glass - cherries and caramel char, cinnamon and cranberry - once the bottle is opened. The flavors are at once lush and precise, as every sip gives you the incredible, delectable sensation of biting through the skin and flesh of the ripest summer fruit. Plums, raspberries, orange rinds blend with rose petals, pomegranate jam, even hints of red apples. Nerello captures the harmony of fine Burgundy with the stately grace of Barolo, yet given its volcanic heart, is definitely its own experience. Winemaker Notes
