The Planeta 2016 Etna Rosso opens to a lean, streamlined appearance with brilliant ruby and garnet hues that shine bright from deep inside this attractive wine. The brightness of those ruby hues is noteworthy, as many Etna reds show pale color stability in comparison. This wine opens to a mild, almost fragile bouquet with finely-tuned aromas of wild berry, red currant, smoke and ash. The folks at Planeta have opted for an understated expression of Nerello Mascalese, and this suits the grape very nicely. I would propose this Etna Rosso for near or medium-term drinking.
