Dating from 1727 and claiming to be the oldest winery in Sicily, Barone di Villagrande is no stranger among the island’s wines. Their immediately appealing 2022 Etna Rosso shows why the whole category is becoming so popular. It combines alluring aromatics and a firm but not hard base of lava-like minerality. Not particularly fruity and weighing in at a modest 13 percent stated alcohol, it enthralls without heaviness. It is an excellent choice for grilled meats.
