This evening, I uncorked a bottle of 2021 Ginestra Etna Bianco and enjoyed a chilled glass while preparing an old family recipe of meatloaf and mashed potatoes. With dinner, I paired it with a delightful Italian red, 2021 Etna Rosso.
My review of tonight’s wines are as follows:
2021 Ginestra Etna Bianco Calcaneus
Tasting notes: Lemon, grapefruit, green apple, mineral, honey, hay, saline and tropical notes
Characteristics: Light, fresh, crisp and acidic
My Rating: 4.3 / 93 Points
2021 Etna Rosso Calcaneus
Tasting notes: Red fruit, black fruit, cherry, plum, perfume, floral and earthy notes with hints of smoke
Characteristics: Smooth and harmonious with a lingering delicate finish
My Rating: 4.4 / 94 Points
Both of these wines are an excellent value priced around $20 and can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a meal. They are a great addition to any wine collection and I will definitely buy more to add to mine and enjoy with family and friends.
