In fact, he believes these are the oldest active vines in all of Etna. Like the cuvée titled simply 'Vinupetra', this is a blend of 80% Nerello Mascalese and 10% each Nerello Cappuccio and Grenache, with a smattering of other fruit from vines whose names are long forgotten.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo reviews of the vintage were available, but we've included one for the 2017 from Eric Guido at Vinous, because it was so fun to read: \"\u003cem\u003eThe 2017 Etna Rosso Vinupetra Viti Centenario is impossible to ignore. From the first tilt of the glass, I’m left contemplating the depths of aromas presented to me. Dark, rich, deep, herbal, floral and with masses of fruit that’s sometimes black cherries, at other times plums and still at other times, overripe strawberries. Further swirling brings forward balsamic spice and tobacco, as I’m suddenly reminded that I’m to sip, not just smell, this beguiling wine. This impresses further with textures like crushed velvet offset by sour citrus and wild berries, yet still remarkably silky and pliant, seeming to soothe all that it touches while leaving a black tea-like concentration and fine tannins that encase yet fail to clench the palate. This experience goes on and on throughout the finale, as the Vinupetra tapers off savory with brown spices offset by hints of mint. This is a thrill-ride of a wine that combines the power but also resilience of its old vines with the dry and warm conditions of the vintage. It’s an experience, to say the least. 96pts\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louis Dressner (TEI) [LDM]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668413374521,"sku":"NYC-1-LDM-`LD8506219`-040326-9","price":127.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/I-Vigneri-Salvo-Foti-Sicilia-IGT-Rosso-Viticentenaire-2019-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1776437223","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/i-vigneri-salvo-foti-sicilia-igt-rosso-viticentenaire-2019-2019-750ml","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
