Review
A firm and silky red with dried-berry and strawberry character. Full and chewy with lots of phenolic depth and tension. Flavorful and rich. Drink or hold. Better in 2020.

Review
Bright red-ruby. Very aromatic nose of sweet spices and riper red cherry, with flashes of raspberry liqueur and strawberry jam thrown in for good measure. Enters round, luscious and with outstanding inner-mouth perfume, then risingly tannic on the classically dry, mouthcoating finish. Improves markedly in the glass, showcasing a combination of minerals and of red fruit cocktail. Aged roughly ten months in used oak tonneaux, this ought to age well. From a fifteen year old vineyard of roughly 90% Nerello Mascalese and 10% Nerello Cappuccio in the Solicchiata area. Only 5,000 bottles made; outstanding first time wine from Calogero Statella, technical director at Tenuta delle Terre Nere. A star is born.

Review
Vivid deep red. Very juicy red cherry and minerals on the nose and in the mouth. This is characterized by a ripe mouthfeel, remarkably suave tannins and a hint of white pepper plus cinnamon on the long back end. It is also very different from the 2016 Pettinociarelle that was more refined, while this 2017 is more nectar-like and ripe (though still very elegant). Ages mostly in old tonneaux and just a few used barriques; the oak is extremely judiciously used. Calogero Statella has another winner on his hands: this wine is yet another knockout (only the second vintage made).

Review
Round and well-knit, this medium-bodied version features supple tannins that provide definition for flavors of dried cherry, baked plum, grilled herb and smoky mineral. Spiced finish. Best from 2021 through 2025.

The attractive red-plum and cherry nose pulls you into this generous and fresh Etna red. Beautiful balance of ripe fruit and polished tannins. Moderately dry, mineral finish. Drink or hold.

Review
Made with organically farmed grapes, this fragrant red has alluring scents of wild red berry, violet, Mediterranean scrub and moist soil. On the vibrant palate, bright acidity accompanies juicy red cherry, dark spice and saline mineral notes alongside lithe tannins. Drink through 2026.

Ripe fruit and spice notes are enticing, drawing you into the glass of this creamy, medium-bodied red and leading to a finely balanced mix of baked plum, dried cherry, thyme and smoke flavors. Drink now through 2024.

Review
The Famiglia Statella 2020 Etna Rosso Pettinociarelle is 90% Nerello Mascalese and 10% Nerello Cappuccio, and the grapes are organic. This is another beautiful wine from this excellent under-the-radar estate. The bouquet is infused with smoke and ash, but there is plenty of fruit tension and crispness at the core. You can't help by admire the careful work in what was a hot and not totally carefree vintage.

Review
The 2019 Etna Rosso Pettinociarelle bursts from the glass with a blend of medicinal blackberries and balsamic spice. This flows across the palate with ripe wild berry fruits carried across silky textural waves. A tart tinge of sour cherry mounts toward the close. The 2019 tapers off with youthful tension and a coating of fine-grain tannins, ending with a tangerine hint.
