Monteleone, "Qubba" Etna Rosso Doc

Shiny garnet color with a very vivid and lively appearance that sets the stage for the red fruit aromas that follow. There is wild cherry, raspberry and tangy cassis. Those bright primary fruit aromas cede to sweet spice, dried rose and crushed stone. There is a dusting of white pepper on the close.

Monteleone, "Qubba" Etna Rosso Doc 2020	93 James Suckling Attractive ripe berries and dark cherries with some crushed stones and pumice on the nose and palate. Medium body with medium round tannins that give form and texture to the wine. Drink now. 93 Wine Advocate The Monteleone 2020 Etna Rosso Qubba shows a shiny garnet color with a very vivid and lively appearance that sets the stage for the red fruit aromas that follow. There is wild cherry, raspberry and tangy cassis. Those bright primary fruit aromas cede to sweet spice, dried rose and crushed stone. There is a dusting of white pepper on the close. Qubba is 90% Nerello Mascalese and 10% Nerello Cappuccio, and only 2,300 bottles were made. 91 Vinous The 2020 Etna Rosso Qubba is quite coy in the glass, showing dried strawberries and peppery herbs. This is sleek and racy, with a slender feel further enhanced by brisk acidity and tart wild berry fruits. It lingers long, potent and staining, leaving a resonance of licorice and rose.
