Drink: 2013 - 2016


The 2010 Archineri Rosso is striking from start to finish. Sweet, red cherries, flowers, mint, anise and sweet spices are some of the many notes that emerge from this deceptively medium-bodied wine. Although moderately structured at first glance, the 2010 has plenty of depth and equally notable persistence in reserve, qualities that are typical of the great Etna reds. With time in the glass, the wine's intense structure becomes increasingly apparent. Savory herbs, sage and rosemary add lift on the gracious, refined finish. The 2010 Archineri Rosso is flat-out beautiful today. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2016. I was deeply impressed with the wines I tasted from Pietradolce this year. This small estate on the northern side of the Etna was founded less than ten years ago, but in that short time the wines have come a long way. Importer: North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley, CA; tel.
