Tasting Notes
A wine with a ruby red color tending to purplish. The nose expresses very fine and delicate notes of small red fruits, wild spices, medicinal herbs and cloves. Balanced and harmonious in the mouth with great structure, it ends with a savory and persistent finish.
Food Pairings
Sicilian dishes showcase oily fish such as mackerel, eggplant and peppers, herbs, cheeses. Try pasta with Sardines and Wild Fennel, Rigatonni alla Norma and Falsamagro (rolled prosciutto, cheese, sausage, boiled egg and peas)
Third Party Reviews
“The 2019 Etna Rosso San Teodoro opens with a delicate blend of dried strawberries, roses & spice. This balances ripe wild berry fruits with saline minerals & zesty acidity to create an inviting yet tension-filled performance on the palate. The finish is tannic yet fresh, leaving sour cherry hints lingering.
90pts Eric Guido, Vinous,June 2023
…The “San Teodoro” release is a sure thing, and a completely delicious thing at that. Lovely perfume and flavors centered on notes of pure red cherries are utterly alluring, and the wine’s purity and stylistic straightforwardness allow Etna’s volcanic soils to show in the form of mineral sapidity, with other little savory nuances also emerging around the edges. The wine is intricate and lovely in every respect already, and would grace any food pairing from veal scallops to an omelet with a dash of truffle salt.
