"The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, grippy and quite masculine toward the finish. Hopefully it will manifest more refinement once in bottle." Neal Martin, Vinous

Drink: 2023 - 2030

"The 2019 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge offers simple red berry fruit on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins and a rather hard finish at the moment." - Neal Martin, Vinous

The color is intense red and purple, very clear. The intense fresh and immediate aroma with nuances of ripe red fruit and vegetable notes. The taste is dry and soft with a good structure and persistent olfactory taste.

Straw yellow color with greenish reflections, with a complex aroma with notes of apricot and orange and acacia flowers. Cozy on the palate thanks to its natural aromaticity, it has a long persistence.

Mauve red color with nuances tending to garnet, with a complex and lively aroma with notes of blackberry jam, blueberries, plums, which combine with hints of licorice and tobacco. On the palate it is refined and harmonious with soft tannins.

The new ‘E’ Etna Bianco is 100% Carricante, grown on the alluvial and clayey lava of Mount Etna’s slopes. Paolini lease vineyards off a local grower, and are the only cooperative winery to produce wine on the volcano. All the work is supervised by the Paolini team, and the wine (just like the Etna Rosso) is vinified on Etna.

Ruby red color with soft violet reflections, with a complex, intense, spicy perfume with a fruity touch of wild strawberries, cherry, plum, mixed with light hints of red rose. On the palate rich, wide and velvety, with a great structure and aromatic persistence with an acidic aftertaste, soft and balanced tannins that gives a fresh acidity.
