The 2022 'Dagala di Bocca d'Orzo' Etna Rosso elicits an offiicial "wow" from the first tilt of glass, smoldering up with a bland of pulm sauce, grilled herbs, violet-laced blackbarries and hint of chocolate. This is nearly velvety in feel, with a burst of sweet spice up front complementing a core of ripe wild berries as candied citrus tones resonate toward the close. It tepars off with a tactile coating of minerals and silky tennin, creating a perfect framework for this genuinely mesmerizing experience. 2022 'Dagala di Bocca d'Orzo' Etna Rosso is a total seductress.
