JS9191 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Wednesday, August 17, 2022 Fresh peach, melon, lemon and apricot stone on the nose. Juicy and fruit-forward, with medium body and a fleshy, tropical finish. Sustainable. Drink now.VN8888 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2022 The 2021 Bianco Anthilia is sweetly scented with notes of green melon, minty herbs and almond paste. It soothes with silky textures, as a tantalizing burst of citrus and salire-tinged acids add energy and verve. While a bit short, the 2021 leaves the palate completely refreshed and aching for more. The Anthilia is composed primarily of Lucido (Catarratto), along with other indigenous varieties. (Eric Guido)
VN8989 pts. - Vinous - May 2023 The 2022 Rosato Etna is understated and delicate, with dried strawberry and dusty florals forming its bouquet. This shows a pretty inner sweetness up front that gives way to crisp orchard fruits and spice. It finishes a bit dry, yet clean, with a saline-tinge that slowly tapers off. (Eric Guido)
VN8989 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2022 The 2020 Zibibbo in Pithos is perfumed and exotic in the glass, with layers of crystallized ginger, pungent yellow flowers, sun tea and blood orange forming its bouquet. This is soft, nearly glycerol in texture, coasting floral-laced young peach and mango across a core of saline-minerals. It leaves the palate dry, while also watering for more, but tapering off a bit shorter than anticipated. The Zibbibo in Pithos is refined completely in Amphora. While I really enjoy the uniqueness of the 2020, it lacks some of the energy of past vintages.
SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Nov 15, 2022 Lightly toasty on the nose, less so on the palate, with a pure beam of raspberry coulis fruit flavors layered with a minerally underpinning of smoke and graphite, plus rich notes of fig cake, wild sage, ground coffee and red licorice. A fresh, classy version, with lightly chalky tannins emerging to firm the finish. Nero d’Avola and Frappato. Drink now through 2027. 6,650 cases made, 1,415 cases imported. (Alison Napjus)WS9191 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 06/22 Notes of dried thyme and white pepper weave through this wine’s juicy cherry and strawberry flavors, then the wine finishes with a bright spray of orange zest. It’s a lively, midweight wine, versatile for a range of lighter fare.VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2022 The 2020 Cerasuolo di Vittoria is dark and smoky, with black currants and crushed blueberries offset by a hint of animal musk. This is a soft and pure yet energetic expression, with a mix of tart wild berries and sour citrus tones adding tension. It tapers off long and floral, with a pleasant inner sweetness complicated by a staining of salty minerals. This is so incredibly fresh. The 2020 Cerasuolo di Vittoria is a blend of 60% Nero d’Avola and 40% Frappato. (Eric Guido)
WE9494 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 10/1/2020 Graphite, thyme, brambly berry and violet aromas waft out of the glass along with Mediterranean scrub. Boasting youthful tension, the chiseled palate delivers succulent Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice and coffee bean set against elegant, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced while a hint of saline lingers on the close. Drink through 2033.VN9393 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2021 The 2018 Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo is dark and rich in the glass, wafting up with notes of cherry sauce, plums and Indian spice. It is deeply textural and velvety in feel, with ripe black instead of red notes, lifted by cooling mineral and minty herbs. There’s an almost balsamic twang to the finish, as this leaves the palate drenched in primary fruit and grippy tannins. The Feudo di Mezzo is a bit of a bruiser in 2018, yet a few years of cellaring should help bring it into focus.
VN9191 pts. - Vinous - May 2023 The 2022 Rosé Nerello Mascalese di Adele opens with a pleasantly sweet bouquet that blends green melon with gingery spice and candied citrus. It washes across the palate with its silken textures, neatly contrasted by mineral-tinged fruits and brisk acidity. The 2022 tapers off crunchy and wildly fresh, leaving behind a hint of lemon oil. (Eric Guido)
VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2022 In a cloud of crushed violet candies, sugar-dusted currants and hints of sage evolve, making the 2020 Nero d’Avola Lagnusa a total aromatic pleasure. Soft-textured and round, this impresses further with ripe red and blue-toned fruits, complemented by sweet spice over a core of vibrant acidity. The Lagnusa finishes remarkably fresh yet long, leaving the mouth watering while still resonating on hints of blackberry and a bitter twang of sour citrus. (Eric Guido)SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Nov 15, 2022 Delivers wild strawberry, raspberry and red licorice notes that are expressive and juicy, with tea rose, thyme and tar notes and bright orange peel acidity. Long and creamy on the palate, with fine, chalky tannins. Drink now through 2030. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. (Alison Napjus)
VN9393 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2022 The 2020 Bianco Contrade SM is a varietal Grillo with a wild yet alluring bouquet that reminds me more of a spiced, citrus-inspired, herbal tea than wine. Then mix in some smoke, a hint of underbrush and viola. It’s soft-textured and savory to the core, with flinty young peach motivated by brisk acids and hints of sour lemon. This leaves a staining of minerality, along with notes of ginger and tangerine, while tapering off with impressive length and concentration. Wow, I’m finding it hard to put this glass down. This is the first vintage of the SM with a strikeout on the label, as Occhipinti can not legally add the Contrada name “Santa Margherita” to the label. The vines are planted in sandy, calcareous soils at 500 meters in Chiaramonte Gulfi, just north of Vittoria.
VN8787 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2022 The 2020 Nero d’Avola is dark with exotic spices, masses of black raspberry and a contrasting hint of mint that forms its bouquet. This is a fruit-forward and juicy effort, yet balance is nicely maintained through cooling acidity and a trace of sour citrus. It finishes fresh with hints of licorice and inner rose tones that linger. As entry-level Nero d’Avola goes, this is an excellent value.
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - May 2023 The 2022 Rosé is spicy, blending crushed stone with a grapefruit and young kiwi spritz. This is round and silky in feel, gaining a more tactile edge as saline minerals settle in. The 2022 finishes incredibly fresh, leaving behind tropical melon and a gentle tug of sour citrus tension. (Eric Guido)
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2022 The 2021 Rami is a translucent amber color; it has a rich yet floral bouquet of raw almonds, peach skins and hints of chamomile. The 2021 envelopes the palate with silken textural orchard fruits while remaining perfumed and vibrant throughout. The finale is dry yet long and sapid, resonating on notes of young peach and a subtle yet bitter twang of gingery spice, all nicely offset by a hint of raw honey. In 2021, the Rami, a blend of 50% Grecanico and 50% Insolia, displays wonderful balance and verve, making it so easy to like.
VN9191 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2021 The 2019 Zibibbo in Pithos is exotic and wickedly fresh, as musky dried apricot and tangerine gives way to minty herbs and hints of wet concrete. It’s deeply textural, almost glycerol-like in feel, with masses of inner florals resonating over notes of ripe melon and hints of kiwi, all kept in check by brisk acidity. This is so incredibly fresh and lifted but also lightly structured, tapering off like taking that first bite of a perfectly ripe yellow apple. What a fun wine. The Zibibbo in Pithos is a dry Muscat of Alexandria (known on Etna as Zibibbo) that’s vinified in amphora.
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2022 The 2019 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Floramundi pulls me close with a smoky blend of black currants, sage and ashen stone. This washes across the palate with soft textural fruits, as saline-minerals and savory spices saturate toward the close. A burst of sour citrus punctuates the expression nicely, as the Floramundi finishes with admirable length and leaves a pleasant inner sweetness. Very nice.
VN92+92+? pts. - Vinous - Dec 2015 Bright red. Reticent nose hints at red berries, minerals and flowers. Smooth and dense but juicy too, with flavors of red berries, cherry and minerals lifted by peppery acidity and a bright floral note. Finishes clean and long. There’s a lovely seamless quality to this still-youthful but extremely promising red.
VN93+93+ pts. - Vinous - Dec 2016 Deep ruby-red. Deep, reticent aromas of blood orange, red currant and gunflint; aroma-wise, this is very different from the Moganazzi and the San Lorenzo. Then very herbal and floral, offering subdued red cherry fruit and pomegranate flavors. Finishes long and with mouth-coating but noble tannins that will need plenty of cellaring. This wine actually reminded me a lot of Tenuta delle Terre Nere’s Guardiola bottling.
