Song Of The South: Mt Etna Tasting

These incredible amaro's are produced by Michele Faro of Pietradolce in Sicily. The Faro family have grown Sicilian citrus on the slopes of Mount Etna for generations.

The Limone contains lemon peel, gentian, cinchona, clove, oregano, elderflower, cinnamon and a range of secret family ingredients.

The attractive red-plum and cherry nose pulls you into this generous and fresh Etna red. Beautiful balance of ripe fruit and polished tannins. Moderately dry, mineral finish. JAMES SUCKLING

The 2019 Etna Rosso Pettinociarelle bursts from the glass with a blend of medicinal blackberries and balsamic spice. This flows across the palate with ripe wild berry fruits carried across silky textural waves. A tart tinge of sour cherry mounts toward the close. The 2019 tapers off with youthful tension and a coating of fine-grain tannins, ending with a tangerine hint. ERIC GUIDO, Vinous
