Fragrant and refined, the elegant Palmento Costanzo 2020 Mofete is a classic Etna Rosso. It opens with heady aromas of blue flower, Mediterranean herb and forest floor while the linear palate features juicy red cherry, star anise and wild herb before finishing on a hint of peach pit. Lithe tannins and fresh acidity keep it well balanced. Drinking range: - 2030 Rating: 92 Kerin O'Keefe, kerinokeefe.com (Sept 2023)
The 2020 Etna Rosso Mofete reaches up from the glass with a vivid note of hard red candies, licorice and sweet spice. This is soft and soothing on the palate, with juicy acidity that motivates its crisp wild berry fruits. It finishes with medium length yet fresh. The 2020 leaves a slightly bitter tinge that tugs at the cheek. The Etna Rosso Mofete aims to please. Drinking range: 2023 - 2028 Rating: 90 Eric Guido, www.vinous.com (Sept 2023)
Palmento Costanzo
A property of 14 hectares in Contrada Santo Spirito, Passopisciaro, on the northern slopes of Etna. 10 hectares are planted with vines on walled terraces on volcanic rocks between 600-800 metres altitude. The Costanzos came here in 2011 - they are from Catania - and meticulously restored the palmento (the word for the olive millstone which gave the farm its name). The vineyards are planted employing the 鈥榞obelet' method and farmed organically. The 2017鈥檚 are certified organic. This is an amazing new project which has been given all the investment and attention it needed to make great wines from the outset.
