Massimiliano Calabretta holds more in common with some of the stalwarts of traditional Barolo production than he does with most of his fellow Etna producers. He ages his wine in large neutral oak botti and holds his wine back for years in bottle before release. There are no recipes but some vintages age for as long as 12 (between cask and bottle) years in the cellar before release.
The Nerello Mascalese Vigne Vecchie is still the star of the estate. Thanks to extended aging, the wine develops a smooth, velvety texture and subtle aromas. It's wonderfully delicious to drink now, but also has a remarkable ability to age. This offers a unique and seldom-seen combination of value, distinctive character, and age-worthiness, not just in Italy, but potentially worldwide.
