Natalie's Score: 91/100

From the Sicily wine region, Donna Fugata Dea Vulcano 2020 Etna Rosso is produced from mostly Nerello Mascalese with a splash of Nerello Cappuccio added to the mix. Pretty as the label on the bottled which was illustrated by Stefano Vitale, the wine is fresh with rich red cherry, strawberry, savoury herbs, baking and pepper spice flavours on the palate with mineral notes from beginning to end. Tannins are velvety and rounded. The wine was partially aged for 12 months in cement tanks and neutral oak barrels with 10 months in bottle prior to its release. A beautifully crafted, dry, medium-plus-bodied and elegant Etna red, enjoy it through 2026.

Food pairings: rustic meat stews, grilled game sausages, meat lover's pizza.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
