Pietro Caciorgna, Etna Rosso Ciauria 2024, Sicily

Pietro Caciorgna, Etna Rosso Ciauria 2024, SicilyAffable and self effacing, Paolo Caciorgna has built a super reputation for his reds, made from Etnas indigenous Nerello Mascalese. Nerello is across of sorts between Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo, which is very exciting on paper and even more so in the glass. It thrives on Etna, where the terroir is characterised by complex, volcanic soils and the climate is moderated, higher up the mountain, by a strong sea breeze. There is a wealth of old vines here,
