The name Cauru—Sicilian for "hot"—captures the volcanic intensity retained in this wine's very structure. From two distinct crus on Mount Etna's northeast slopes, 85% Nerello Mascalese and 15% Nerello Cappuccio receive 24-hour cold soaking and seven days of maceration. Transparent ruby that dances between blackberry and cherry jam while dust and minerality underscore every note. Volcanic Nerello unadorned: sleek, creamy, with dusty tannins that whisper rather than shout.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 89
"Violets, lavender and licorice form an inviting bouquet as the 2022 Etna Rosso Cauru opens in the glass. It's soothingly round, with rose-tinged wild berry fruits and sweet spices that swirl throughout. It finishes with a pleasantly chewy sensation as a tart cranberry resonance hangs on." -Eric Guido

Jancis Robinson

JR 17
"Trilling with cherry, strawberry and raspberry fruit. Pure, spunky, jewelled freshness of fruit. Spilling over with all the fullness of deliciousness. A little rattle-and-hum of tiny-shiny-pebble minerality and dinky kiss-me-quick tannins. This is joyfully delicious! Snap it up from Majestic!"

Wine Enthusiast

"The nose opens first with the aromas of flinty volcanic soil and crushed shells before bright, wild cherries and bitter, exotic citrus notes join. Cherries, strawber­ries and raspberries warm the palate before more citrus and earth metals bring energy and contour to the finish." -Danielle Callegari
