Animardente Etna Rosso 2019

Mad og Monopolet

En ret unik vin, som kommer fra Italien, hvor den er dyrket på Etna (vulkanen) – deraf navnet. Gør det så en vin unik? Ja, det gør det helt enkelt. Den er lavet på Nerello Mascalese, som byder på en tæt og intens duft af hindbær, kirsebær, viol, espresso, kakao, lakrids og svampe. I munden er den fyldig og har flotte modne tanniner og en friskhed, der sammen med sødme bare skaber perfekt balance. I min verden så kunne denne sagtens hamle op med stor Barolo!

James Suckling

A medium-bodied, savory and mineral red with plenty of fresh and dried cherries, oyster shells, button mushrooms and some iodine. Tea leaves, too. Tight-grained tannins. Fresh, mineral finish. 100% nerello mascalese.

The 100% Nerello Mascalese from Contrada Santo Spirito on the splendid Northern Slope of Etna is fragrant and rich. Notes of cherries, black cherries, red plums, dark chocolate and ginger. Medium body, soft tannins and a discreetly elegant finish.

Packaged in a heavy glass bottle, the Contrada Santo Spirito di Passopisciaro 2019 Etna Rosso Animardente offers dark fruit and medium rich concentration. That extra density is a characteristic of this classic vintage. The wine offers fine tannins and Etna-specific aromas of wild berry fruit, cassis, wild rose and ashy mineral. This wine boasts an approachable, open-knit style that would pair with grilled meats. Fruit comes from 70-year-old alberello (or bush-trained) vines at 700 meters above sea level with northeast exposures. Production is 6,800 bottles.

Decanter

New to the Place de Bordeaux this year. Raspberries, cola cubes and vanilla touches on the nose. Light, fresh and high toned but with a creaminess to the tannins. Mouthfilling and bright with an ease about it. Well balanced and juicy. Would be excellent with food, not too high acidity, all in balance. Easy to drink and enjoy.

Houlberg

Som sidst en forholdsvis lys og halvtransparent vin i glasset og den herligste duft, der både er storblomstret, frugtrig og landlig. Der er både blæk, tjære, kul og nogle aromaer, der kan minde en smule om Nebbiolo. Der er kirsebær, brombær, blåbær, tørt træ, tobak, violer, solbærblade, rosenvand samt en smule sød vaniljesukker. I munden er det både let, syrligt og frugtrigt … lys og læskende med kirsebær, hindbær, jordbær, tranebær og ribs. Der er også lidt lemon bitterhed, Campari, saltlakrids og balsamico, stram, ren og direkte … samtidig har den en lille mineralsk kant. Smager virkelig godt, så dermed 92 point. Forhandles af Supervin, hvor en flaske koster 329,95 kr., mens prisen på tilbud kun er 149,95 kr. ved køb af 6 flasker.
