2015 Etna Rosso, Contrada Blandano, Terra Costantino (6 x Bottle)
From the area of Viagrande, the 2015 Etna Rosso Contrada Blandano is 90% Nerello Mascalese and 10% Nerello Cappuccio culled from old vines planted at 450 to 550 meters in altitude on Mount Etna. This vintage has faded a bit in terms of color intensity, with browning crimson hues over the light garnet ones. The aromas are just beginning to show some age with licorice, smoke and candied fruit. This is an easygoing expression with medium build and medium complexity. Only 1,500 bottles were made.

Vinous
The 2015 Etna Rosso Contrada Blandano is sweetly floral and a bit extroverted as well, crushed plums and strawberries giving way to hints of clove and allspice. It’s silky in texture, yet it firms up quickly through a mix of tart woodland fruits, salty minerals and nervous acidity. This tapers off lightly structured but also with an astringent feel, as hints of licorice linger under an air of rosy florals.
