Etna

Fermata 125 is the new Etna project by Palermo-based Baglio di Pianetto, with vines at 700-750m in Passopisciaro on Etna's north slope. Vinified in stainless steel, it then matures for 12 months in botti grandi with a short refinement in stainless steel before bottling. The result is a fragrant red with warm scents of earth and wood spice, and just a touch of balsam. Integrated grainy tannins clutch ripe cherry and strawberry fruit, while wood, earth and spice notes give depth. Dense yet bright, with some welcome stoniness on the mid-palate.
