2024 Planeta Etna Rosso Caros Wines NZ

An alluring style that is capturing the world's attention. This red from the bank of Mount Etna on Sicily gains complexity from the rocky, free-draining and mineral-rich volcanic soils. Here the local Nerello Mascalese grape ripens slowly in elevated vineyards, where delicate fruit characters capture every detail of fruit and mineral layering without any flavour being 'cooked out', as in hotter areas. Widely compared to Burgundy in poise and precision, it offers the paradox of complex but simple charm in a food-friendly, minerally and refreshing red.
