Statella Etna Rosso "Pettinociarelle" '19

From Calogero Statella, this is an exciting new-ish winery. Statella is not new to Etna, as he has been the winemaker at Tenuta delle Terre Nere since 2007. This contrada, Pettinociarelle, is in the township of Solicchiata, at 765 meters. A relatively younger vineyard, 15 years in age. The juice was fermented in tank and aged in 500-liter, second- and third-use barrels. Fun to see Statella away from Terre Nere, as I find the style more restrained.
