Le Sabbie dell'Etna

A tug into the charming bouquet of the 2018 Le Sabbie dell'Etna reveals a medley of cherry confiture, violets, and a smoky-peppery dance, with rosemary and dark olives throwing in a rustic twirl. The palate is fresh with low and dry tannin. Flavours of cherry, mulberry, and a floral-smoke. It's not overly complex, but elegant, interesting and well-made. The aftertaste leaves a long, warm trail. A bit funny to read my 2-year-old notes, as they show the wine evolved in terms of aromatics, but the palate remains the same.
