Reviewed June 2025The aromas of cranberries, pears, honeysuckle and other white flowers are enticing. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins and a fresh, bright finish. A little closed now but already very enjoyable. Drink or hold. (JS)

Vinous
The wonderfully floral and graceful 2023 Etna Rosso blossoms in the glass with mineral-laden crushed rocks, dusty rose and dried black cherries. Perfumed red berry fruits soothe as a tactile mineral crunch evolves toward the close. Tart cranberry saturation and nuances of spice remain, and edgy tannins pinch at the cheeks without detracting from the 2023's nearly sultry energy.

Wine Enthusiast
Savory, smoky, earthy, dense—a substantial and sophisticated wine that feels very connected to its Etna context but also has a cosmopolitan quality, like a child who goes to live abroad and then returns always the same, but with polish and perspective.

Wine Advocate
The Idda 2023 Etna Rosso is primarily Nerello Mascalese that shows a dark garnet hue with aromas of blackcurrant, crushed stone and black olive. You feel the intensity of a hot vintage in the aromas of this medium-bodied Etna Rosso. Idda's production is 70% white wines and 30% reds. Fruit for this wine comes from the estate's vineyard in Biancavilla.

Notes
Idda brings together Angelo Gaja and Alberto Graci on Etna. The 2023 Rosso combines Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio from Biancavilla on the volcano's southwestern slope. It fermented in oak and concrete, followed by 18 months in the same materials. Vinous describes rose and dried-cherry aromas, perfumed red fruit and tart cranberry on the finish, with firm tannins. Wine Advocate's assessment adds blackcurrant and black-olive notes to a medium-bodied palate.
