Etna

An interesting new project situated at 850-900m above sea level in the Panella-Petto Dragone contrada in Linguaglossa, on Etna's north slope, is Blindspot Vineyard, founded by Matt and Carolyn Burghoff. This 2022 is the first vintage; just 700 bottles of field-blend Nerello Mascalese and other local varieties vinified in stainless steel and aged in amphora. Super-bright and juicy, it features fragrant sour cherry and pomegranate, with cleansing acidity and fine tannins. A positive first step, this is one to follow.
