Tenute dei Ciclopi Etna Rosso 2023
Vintage Character
Tenute dei Ciclopi Etna Rosso 2023 places the volcano's two red Nerello varieties within an unusually demanding season. In the northern Etna area, heavy rain in May and June followed a relatively dry winter, bringing disease pressure during flowering. Summer then turned dry, and ripening varied according to how individual vineyards had weathered those earlier difficulties. The vintage therefore called for careful observation rather than a single simple harvest pattern. This blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio offers a savoury, structured interpretation, combining substantial texture with the freshness that keeps its many aromatic details in focus. In uneven-ripening 2023, that balance of substantial fruit and freshness matters more than sheer weight or uniformly ripe power.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Blood orange, juniper and tamarind open the bouquet, followed by graphite, tobacco leaf and liquorice root. Rosemary and eucalyptus give the fruit a herbal frame, with a restrained peppery note adding definition. The palate is muscular but balanced, its silky tannins held within a fresh, savoury line. Mineral echoes remain as the finish extends. Try it with grilled lamb, mushroom pasta, or roast duck with a light five-spice seasoning. These dishes match its substance and herbal complexity without covering the citrus-toned fruit or the finer grain of its tannins.
Winery Background
Volcanic sands provide the vineyard setting, with bush-trained vines alongside rows being converted to the same form. Fermentation takes place in open vats with selected yeasts and skin contact. The wine matures mainly in stainless steel, with a portion spending a short time in barrel before the blend rests further in bottle. It is bottled without filtration. This measured combination gives the estate's Etna Rosso a clear identity: a local-variety red with enough breadth for food, but a fresh and finely textured centre.
