Plenty of blue fruit with crushed blackberry and blueberry aromas as well as boysenberries. Impressively clear fruit here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine and creamy tannins and a fresh and fruity finish. Delicious now. Drink or hold.

The entry-level Tenuta di Fessina 2020 Etna Rosso Erse is elegant and lean with a fun set of aromas that recall white pepper, wild berry, blue flower and candied orange peel. The blend is 90% Nerello Mascalese with smaller parts Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante and Minnella. I like this fresh, snappy style. Some 20,000 bottles were made, and you get great value.

Mostly Nerello Mascalese (with small parts Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante and Minnella), the 2019 Etna Rosso Erse has a lot of spice on its lively bouquet with cumin seed, white pepper and a touch of dried ginger. These lifted aromas frame a core of wild berry fruit. It is a mid-weight, very drinkable and enjoyable wine, especially in the near-term with a Chinese takeout of beef and broccoli. Some 20,000 bottles were made.

Tenuta di Fessina's 2017 Etna Rosso Erse is a mid-weight expression with a very bright and buoyant personality that will put a smile on your face. The wine is simple and relatively uncomplicated, but it does indeed deliver lots of territory-driven authenticity that reminds you of the volcanic environment where it was born. Wild berry fruit and pressed flowers are followed by smoke, tar and white licorice root. I had some questions regarding the 2016 vintage, but this 2017 vintage is clean and well-presented. Nerello Mascalese (90%) is blended with smaller parts Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante and Minnella. The wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel. Some 25,000 bottles were made.

The 2015 Etna Rosso Erse is different in personality compared to the 2014 vintage. That previous edition showed a bright and vibrant quality of fruit. This classic blend of 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio is darker and more austere in comparison. It reveals rustic and wild characteristics that I associate with Nerello Cappuccio. Indeed, that grape leaves a heavier mark on the bouquet, and there is a distinct aroma of freshly milled white pepper. The mouthfeel also shows a sudden spot of astringency.
