"The 2022 Etna Rosso Contrada Sciaranuova is youthfully coy, with a dusty blend of dried flowers, earth tones and ash wafting up from the glass. Silky yet lifted and finessed, it sweeps across the palate with medium-weight textures and bright red berry fruits. Its minerality comes through on the finish, enhanced by a bump of brilliant acidity as it tapers off long, staining and with crunchy tannins that resonate on. Utterly classic. While backward today, the Sciaranuova is harmonious and shows incredible potential. Tasted from barrel." -Eric Guido

"The Passopisciaro 2022 Contrada S shows bright energy with a spot of fresh cherry that rises above the volcanic notes of ash and crushed stone that normally defines Nerello Mascalese. This wine draws its fruit from 90-year-old vines at 850 meters in elevation in the Contrada Sciaranuova. It sits very nicely on the palate with good primary intensity and elegantly chalky tannins." -Monica Larner

"Always one of the most fragrant of the estate's single-vineyard reds, the stunning 2022 Contrada S boasts intense scents of blue flower, field flower, eucalyptus, dark spice, wet slate and dried aromatic herb. From grapes grown in Sciaranuova 850m above sea level, it has a salty mineral-driven character that underpins wild strawberry, tart cherry, herbal and spice sensations. Taut, polished tannins and bright acidity provide support and balance. What a beauty." -Kerin O'Keefe
