I Custodi “Pistus” Etna Rosso 2022
Notes: Bright strawberry and sour-cherry aromas mingle with wild herbs, lavender and a puff of volcanic smoke. The mid-weight palate is silky yet incisive, layering red-currant, black-pepper and pine-resin nuances over fine, sandy tannins. A streak of mineral salinity and brisk acidity leaves the finish ringing with freshness.
