"Bright and vivid red with fresh raspberries and cherries as well as citrus peel and dried hibiscus. Medium-bodied, sleek and creamy on the palate with dusty tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink now."

"Mediterranean scrub, wild rose and wild red berry mingle with whiffs of dark spice and smoky flint on the delightful 2021 Etna Rosso Cauru from Torre Mora. A blend of 85% Nerello Mascalese and 15% Nerello Cappuccio, the smooth, light-bodied palate features Morello cherry, raspberry, licorice and saline alongside polished tannins. Made to be drunk young, it's lithe and accessible so enjoy soon. Drink through 2027. Abv: 13%"
