2021 Filippo Grasso Etna Rosso Ripiddu

The 2021 Filippo Grasso “Ripiddu” Etna Rosso is a classic expression of Nerello Mascalese grown on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, where high-altitude vineyards and volcanic soils create wines of remarkable elegance, freshness, and minerality.

Ruby red with light garnet reflections, it opens with aromas of wild cherry, red currant, dried rose, and spice, complemented by distinctive smoky and volcanic notes that reflect its unique terroir.

On the palate it is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, combining bright acidity with fine tannins and flavors of red berries, crushed stone, and subtle herbs. The finish is long, savory, and lightly smoky, showing the finesse and transparency that have made Etna Rosso one of Italy’s most exciting wine styles.

Versatile at the table, it pairs beautifully with grilled meats, mushroom dishes, roasted poultry, and aged cheeses.
