The Barone di Villagrande 2018 Etna Rosato is a compact, firm and energized wine that opens to beautifully delicate notes of violet and lavender followed by citrusy tones of pink grapefruit and passion fruit. What sets this Rosato, made on the east side of the volcano, apart from those made on the north side is the enhanced floral and fruity signature achieved here. The wine is a blend of 90% Nerello Mascalese and 10% Carricante. Other Etna Rosatos are often more ashen and mineral in character, but this wine presents direct and simple primary fruit. It's not less complex per se, just different. Some 9,000 bottles were made.
