in Shoreham, UK.</figcaption></figure><p>There are people in the world who always bring an interesting bottle of wine to a party. You’ve never seen the label before, let alone heard of the grape variety, and the back of the bottle is written in a different language.</p> <p>You just know that these wines won’t be the kind you can add to your basket at the end of an online supermarket shop.</p> <p>How do you get your hands on bottles like these?</p> <p>If you’ve read <a href="https://www.decanter.com/premium/tips-on-how-to-navigate-your-local-independent-wine-merchant-566596/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>how to buy wine at an independent wine merchant</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.decanter.com/premium/our-expert-reveals-the-best-hacks-to-buying-wine-online-567660/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>how to buy wine online</strong></a>, you’re probably halfway to cracking the code.</p> <p>But, if you really want to buy wine like a pro, there are a few more things you need to know.</p> <h2>1.Visit vineyards and buy bottles from the cellar door</h2> <p>If you’re in a wine-producing country (the UK included), you might be surprised to find how close you are to a vineyard. Visiting a vineyard is a fun day out, but it’s even better when you can take away a souvenir and share it with (read: show off to) your friends and family.</p> <p>Sometimes there are bottles that haven’t even made it into the shops. If you want something rare and original (that hasn’t been marked up) then a vineyard cellar door is a great place to buy wine. You’ll be supporting a local business, too.</p> <hr /> <h2>2. Eat in bistro-come-bottleshops</h2> <p>What came first: the bistro or the bottleshop? Whichever way around it is, there are eating establishments that also sell bottles of wine (or there are wine shops that also serve food). These are fun places to hang out and pore over the list of wines.<br /> <div class="js-react-on-rails-component" style="display:none" data-component-name="SubscriberContent"

style="font-weight: 400;">The last time <em>Decanter</em> covered an Aldi tasting in March this year, Tina Gellie gave voice to a persistent problem that she and many of the other attendees (this taster included) had at the event: put simply, too many of the 94 wines on show contained far too much sugar.</span></p> <hr /> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Scroll down for scores and tasting notes

saved from bankruptcy last week by<a href="https://l.easylink.es/l/24e74385e470b463f27b3b38989e77f52b21165a?u=11033119&amp;i=5f80c00a-4939-43df-b4e8-43571711c675" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Blackstar Company</a>, a newly-formed company helmed by spirits industry veterans Kris Comstock and Ray Franklin.  The investment by Blackstar will allow Black Button to continue operations, including distilling, bottling, and selling their award-winning spirits, including bourbon, Empire Rye whiskey, vodka, gin, and fan favorite Bespoke Bourbon Cream.​​</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Black Button Distilling was founded in 2012 by Jason Barrett, and was the first craft distillery to open in Rochester NY since Prohibition.  When industry friend and Blackstar co-founder Kris Comstock heard about the closing of Black Button, he was saddened by the news and reached out to Jason with an offer to help.  “I was heartbroken to hear Black Button was closing and saw the community&#8217;s outpouring of support on social media,” said Comstock.  “I’m thrilled about this partnership, as I have tremendous respect for Jason as a person and Master Distiller.  Black Button Distilling has established a solid foundation across New York with their award-winning products. We look forward to building on that foundation as we expand the business.”</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Jason Barrett, President and Master Distiller, Black Button Distilling said, “Although this is bittersweet, I’m happy that the distillery will remain open and our team will stay in place.  I’ve known Kris for several years and have the utmost respect for his ability to build brands. I feel that Black Button is in great hands. But neither me nor my team is going anywhere. We will still run the day-to-day operations as always, but now have extra help and industry expertise from Blackstar.  I’m  very excited for the future of Black Button Distilling.&#8221;</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Currently, Black Button has nine full-time employees, all of whom will remain.  The tasting room, which closed in July, will remain closed for now as the new owners assess the business with more information to follow.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>About Black Button Distilling </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Established in 2012, Black Button Distilling is Rochester’s first grain-to-glass distillery since Prohibition and the birthplace of <em>Rochester Style Bourbon</em>. As a licensed Farm Distillery, 100% of the grains for Black Button’s whiskeys are sourced within 50 miles of the distillery in the heart of the Finger Lakes.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Founder and Master Distiller Jason Barrett designed and refined Black Button’s unique Column-to-Pot-to-Column system, an innovative process that preserves the most flavorful “hearts” of each run. Combined with Rochester’s dramatic seasonal temperature swings, this approach produces whiskeys of exceptional depth and character.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Black Button is also the proud producer of the internationally awarded Bespoke Bourbon Cream, honored with gold at the Concours International de Lyon and the John Barleycorn Awards. For more information visit <a href="https://l.easylink.es/l/f0058b17c9d6c5f06d30bae1b1bc620ff83f34c0?u=11033119&amp;i=5f80c00a-4939-43df-b4e8-43571711c675" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://blackbuttondistilling.com</a></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>About Blackstar Company</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Blackstar is founded by four spirits industry veterans, including Kris Comstock, who spent nearly two decades building the powerhouse whiskey brands of Sazerac/Buffalo Trace Distillery, and Ray Franklin, who built a robust career in a variety of industry roles, including serving as Chief Revenue Officer for Spirits Capital Corporation.  Blackstar offers strategic spirits expertise, guiding companies and brands through the hurdles of production, compliance, logistics, sales, marketing and nationwide distribution.

Its impracticality? Immovability? The sheer weight in your hands? Whatever it is, Assouline’s Wine &amp; Travel series is like diving into a five-star hotel’s king-size bed graced with high-thread-count sheets and goose-down bedding, safe in the knowledge that there’s a freestanding bathtub with suitably indulgent bath salts and oils on hand for when you emerge – a fluffy robe and slippers, too, of course.</p> <p><em><strong>Mediterranean Islands</strong></em> (£105 Assouline, July 2025), which joins the <em><strong>France</strong></em>, <em><strong>Italy</strong></em> and (also new) <em><strong>United States of America</strong></em> books (all £100), is so delicious-looking – a cloth-bound hardback in a rich cornflower yellow, with gold foil and bold black block print – that you almost don’t want to open it. Yet it invites you, so alluringly, to discover ‘the sunlit soul of the Mediterranean terroir’. The end-papers are covered with wine labels, further enticing you to burrow within.</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-565129 alignnone" src="https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/09/DEC315.books_.wine_travel_med_islands-WEB-300x92.jpg" alt="wine book" width="300" height="92" srcset="https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/09/DEC315.books_.wine_travel_med_islands-WEB-300x92.jpg 300w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/09/DEC315.books_.wine_travel_med_islands-WEB-630x194.jpg 630w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/09/DEC315.books_.wine_travel_med_islands-WEB-135x42.jpg 135w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/09/DEC315.books_.wine_travel_med_islands-WEB-320x98.jpg 320w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/09/DEC315.books_.wine_travel_med_islands-WEB-620x191.jpg 620w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/09/DEC315.books_.wine_travel_med_islands-WEB-920x283.jpg 920w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/09/DEC315.books_.wine_travel_med_islands-WEB-1220x375.jpg 1220w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2025/09/DEC315.books_.wine_travel_med_islands-WEB.jpg 1300w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p> <p>It’s the epitome of a coffee-table book: high GSM, satin finish and packed with imagery. It’s intended as pure escapism, but I can’t see it hitting home with any true wine or travel enthusiast. Although it’s just shy of 300 pages, I’d be surprised if the total word count matched an issue of <em>Decanter</em> – with brief introductions to each of the island regions covered, skimming over any of the depth that makes each so fascinating. The copy is even double-spaced – almost as if they didn’t have enough to fill the pages.</p> <p>Author Enrico Bernardo is a sommelier by trade and clearly someone who loves wine – as shines through in his evocative turns of phrase (Marco de Bartoli’s Vecchio Samperi, for example, is described as ‘brazen, almost arrogant’) – but he isn’t given the space to share his knowledge.</p> <p>Even if you were to look at this as a collection of photography, you’d be disappointed – some images are beautiful, but many are generic stock – think oversaturated sunsets and tourist snaps better suited to a Lonely Planet travel guide, making for an inconsistent feel. Combine this with the script font used for pullquotes (not just naff, it’s hard to read) and you’ve suddenly got something that feels reminiscent of a school project, rather than the plush publication this is meant to be.</p> <p>There’s no practical advice on visiting the regions or wineries mentioned, no tips on where to eat, drink or stay, and no maps to guide you through more intricate regions (in fact, you’ll find some rather misleading illustrated pseudo-maps in places). There is at least a compendium of wineries at the back – but even that is just a list, with no indication on the style, size or quality.</p> <p>If you’re looking for a weighty tome to match the colour scheme of your new conservatory, then this book is for you. But, if you want to learn more about the Mediterranean islands and their wines, you’ll find plenty of better sources elsewhere.</p> <div class="breakout palette-a panel panel-default"><div class="panel-body"><div class='breakout-content'></p> <h2 style="text-align: center;">The rule of three</h2> <p>The team behind The Classic Wine Library has been busy, with a flurry of new releases: an updated edition of Raymond Blake’s <em><strong>Côte d’Or</strong></em> (May 2025), <em><strong>The Wines of Central and Southern Spain</strong></em> by <em>Decanter</em> Contributing Editor Sarah Jane Evans MW (June 2025) and – perhaps most intriguingly – <em><strong>The Wines of Brazil</strong></em> by Tufi Neder Meyer (May 2025).

one of the most planted grape varieties in France, <a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine/grape-varieties/carignan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Carignan</strong></a> was overtaken by international varieties such as Merlot at the end of the 20th century, but is now enjoying a resurgence.</p> <p>A grape known by many names including Cariñena, Mazuelo and Samsó in Spain, Carignano in Italy and Carignane in the United States, this red grape variety is characterised by thick-skinned berries and high-yielding vines which can retain acidity, even under the hot Mediterranean sun.</p> <p>Carignan-based wines have deep colour and express aromas of red fruits like raspberry and spicy notes including cinnamon and pepper. They are often medium-bodied with a high level of austere tannins. Best examples will come from old vines (vieilles vignes) which show more concentration and elegance, either as single varietal wines or blends. <a href="https://www.decanter.com/decanter-world-wine-awards/international-grenache-day-top-scoring-wines-to-try-465207/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Garnacha/Grenache</strong></a>, Syrah and Mourvèdre are common blending partners.</p> <hr /> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Scroll down to discover 14 Carignan wines to try from DWWA 2025</h2> <hr /> <p>It&#8217;s likely to find Carignan-based wines coming from Southern France, especially <a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine/wine-regions/languedoc-roussillon-wine-region/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Languedoc-Roussillon</strong></a>, parts of <a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine/wine-regions/spain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Spain</strong></a> and Sardinia in Italy.

This purity and finesse of this wine makes a convincing case for Carinyena as the pre-eminent variety for Priorat – and, contrariwise, for Priorat as the world’s greatest location for Carignan. It’s also a plaudit for concrete ageing, whether in egg or otherwise. The wine is a dark black-red in colour, and the aromas are less fruity than most; it’s one of those wines which seems to smell as much of a landscape as of fruit. It’s only two years old, yet the ageing has been so successfully managed that it has the seamlessness and harmony of a much older wine. On the palate, it is refined, graceful and shawl-like, full of lingering dark-fruit intensity but counterbalanced by the wine’s unstrenuous cashmere tannin and insinuating, palate-lapping acidity: extraordinary finesse for a variety often regarded as workmanlike elsewhere. </span><b>Alcohol </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">15.5%</span></p> <h3>Chile</h3> <p><b>Bouchon, Vigno, Maule 2022<br /> </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gold, 95 points<br /> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Compelling red cherries, raspberries and strawberries waft across the nose and infiltrate the energetic palate with milk chocolate tannins and a lovely floral grip to end. </span><b>Alc</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 14%</span></p> <p><b>Casas Patronales, Vigno, Cauquenes, Maule 2022<br /> </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gold, 95 points<br /> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Striking black cherries, plums and delicate florals brim over the palate with its plump texture, plush tannins and evocative smoky acidity.

It starts with a heaping pile of fresh baby spinach that wilts down into a silky, delicate base, then gets gently mixed with sautéed shallot, garlic, Parmesan, and a hint of nutmeg. The result tastes vibrant and fresh, creamy without feeling too heavy. And best of all, it&#8217;s quick and easy to make.</p> <p>Whether you serve it up on Thanksgiving alongside roast turkey, pair it with steak on date night, or just serve it up as a simple weeknight side dish, it&#8217;s pretty much impossible not to love this creamed spinach.

Our portfolios perfectly complement each other, and this partnership enables us to offer a broader, more diverse selection to our customers while growing our national footprint together.”</p> <div class="wp-block-getwid-advanced-spacer" style="height:75px" aria-hidden="true"></div> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://beertoday.co.uk/christmas-gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel=" noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" width="1500" height="150" src="https://beertoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/CHRISTMAS-GIFT-GUIDE.jpg" alt="Christmas Gift Guide" class="wp-image-99519" srcset="https://beertoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/CHRISTMAS-GIFT-GUIDE.jpg 1500w, https://beertoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/CHRISTMAS-GIFT-GUIDE-1280x128.jpg 1280w, https://beertoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/CHRISTMAS-GIFT-GUIDE-980x98.jpg 980w, https://beertoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/CHRISTMAS-GIFT-GUIDE-480x48.jpg 480w" sizes="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1500px, 100vw" /></a></figure><p>The post <a href="https://beertoday.co.uk/2025/10/28/theakston-swinkels-partnership-1025/">Theakston and Swinkels to partner in UK on-trade</a> first appeared on <a href="https://beertoday.co.uk">Beer Today</a>.</p><p>The post <a href="https://beertoday.co.uk/2025/10/28/theakston-swinkels-partnership-1025/">Theakston and Swinkels to partner in UK on-trade</a> appeared first on <a href="https://beertoday.co.uk">Beer Today</a>.</p> Brewery trust helps search and rescue team https://beertoday.co.uk/2025/10/28/st-austell-charitable-trust-1025/ Beer Today urn:uuid:b1f14385-af51-7998-9901-15faa252040e Tue, 28 Oct 2025 08:00:49 +0000 <p>The St Austell Brewery Charitable Trust has donated six specialist jackets to the West Cornwall Search and Rescue Team (WCSAR), helping to equip new volunteers.

Once qualified, these volunteers will be on call 24/7, 365 days a year, ready to respond to incidents across the TR postcode area.</p> <p>Founded in 2003 as the Cornwall Rescue Group, WCSAR was established to relieve pressure on Devon-based teams. Today, its volunteers range in age from their mid-20s to mid-70s, united by a commitment to helping others in times of crisis.</p> <p>The donation was made possible by the <a href="https://www.staustellbrewery.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">St Austell Brewery</a> Charitable Trust, which has been supporting charities, communities, and individuals in need across the South West since 2003. To date, the trust has raised more than £1 million which has benefited the communities in which St Austell Brewery operates its pubs and two breweries, in Cornwall and near Bath.</p> <p><em>&#8220;</em>We’re proud to support West Cornwall Search and Rescue Team, a charity that plays a critical role in keeping our communities safe,&#8221; said Piers Thompson, external affairs director at St Austell Brewery.</p> <p>&#8220;As one of the region’s largest employers, we’re deeply rooted in Cornwall and passionate about supporting causes that make a real difference locally. These volunteers give their time selflessly, often in dangerous conditions, and we’re pleased to help ensure they have the right equipment to carry out their life-saving work.&#8221;</p> <p>Andy Brelsford, chair of West Cornwall Search and Rescue Team, added: &#8220;These jackets will make a real difference to our team, ensuring that our volunteers stay warm, dry, and protected while responding to incidents in all weather conditions across Cornwall. Support from local businesses like St Austell Brewery helps us continue to provide a vital service to our community.&#8221;</p> <p>In 2024 alone, the trust raised more than £150,000. Recent beneficiaries have included Young Lives vs Cancer, Great Western and Cornwall air ambulances, the Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust, and The Cornwall Bicycle Project CIC.</p> <div

Figures of saints, mythical creatures, warriors and enemies are etched into its surface, each believed to reflect different eras from Campbeltown’s long history. The details echo the enduring spirit of the community in Scotland’s fifth and smallest whisky producing region.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Symbols of a wolf among the mythical markings spark the imagination and invoke old folktales of the Scottish Wulver. Said to be a formidable creature with a gentle soul, tales of the Wulver tell of a wolf’s head with a man’s body and a thick coat of brown hair but are not typical stories of witchcraft and terror. Instead, depictions of the Wulver mirror the generosity of spirit in Campbeltown’s DNA which has run through Glen Scotia for almost two centuries.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Legends have it that the Wulver dwelled in a cave dug into the side of a wooded hill, a place where no one dared to tread. Despite his daunting appearance, the tales recount the Wulver’s quiet days spent fishing in solitude, and his generosity and charitable nature for sharing his catch with his poor neighbours, leaving fish on their windowsills in the dead of night. This spirit is rooted in the heart of Campbeltown’s distilling community, known for its resilience and generous nature without the expectation of reward.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Glen Scotia pays homage to the Wulver’s enduring spirit, and the historical markings of this mythical creature etched on the town’s market cross in Icons of Campbeltown Release No.3.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The limited-edition, unpeated 12-year-old single malt whisky has been expertly crafted by master blender, Ashley Smith with a Tawny Port Cask Finish.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Following careful maturation in hand-selected bourbon barrels, the whisky was transferred to ex-Tawny Port casks to finish for nine months, a process which has resulted in bursting flavours of red fruits, forest berries and dark chocolate. The finish is long and enduring, much like the legend of the Wulver itself, with the unmistakable maritime character of Glen Scotia.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">To bring the Wulver to life, Glen Scotia has continued to partner with celebrated artist, John Holtzman for the Icons of Campbeltown series, whose portfolio includes work for Disney, Marvel and Macmillian.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ashley Smith, Master Blender for Glen Scotia said:</strong> <em>“The ancient market cross that inspired the Glen Scotia Icons of Campbeltown series gives us an exciting starting point to experiment with the single malts to match the mythical icons. For the third release in the series, I wanted to create a unique 12-year-old expression using the finest Tawny Port casks to finish the whisky, which have imparted rich fruity flavours paired with the subtle maritime notes that are a well-loved distinction of Glen Scotia.”</em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Iain McAlister, Distillery Manager and Master Distiller at Glen Scotia, added</strong>: <em>“Our distilling community knows a thing or two about supporting each other in times of need, just like the Wulver did, as the tales are told.

The culprit is polyphenol oxidase (PPO), an enzyme abundant in bananas that interferes with flavanol availability. In experiments, banana-based smoothies cut flavanol absorption by 84% compared to berry-based ones. Scientists say gluten isn’t the problem after all https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251027023754.htm ScienceDaily: Nutrition News urn:uuid:991b4aa7-9d61-9cb3-5376-4746a644702a Tue, 28 Oct 2025 02:01:24 +0000 Groundbreaking research published in The Lancet suggests that most people who believe they’re sensitive to gluten are actually reacting to other factors like FODMAPs or brain-gut dynamics. The study challenges the idea that gluten itself is the culprit behind symptoms in non-coeliac gluten sensitivity. Experts call for better diagnostic tools, more personalized treatment, and an end to unnecessary gluten avoidance.

/><figcaption>Vineyards near to Mount Etna in Sicily.</figcaption></figure><p class="p1"><span class="s1">In a nation with a longstanding reputation for warmth, generosity and, at times, opulence in its wines, Etna emerges as a distinctive entity, offering a wine style that is more incisive, cooler and more structured. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">But is <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/premium/etnas-star-winemakers-556926/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DOC Etna</a></strong> in Sicily genuinely leading the way in the shift towards elegance in Italian fine wines? Or is it merely the most appealing manifestation of a more extensive transformation that is already in progress?</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Spread around the flanks of the world’s most active stratovolcano, Etna’s vineyard area spans about 1,300ha, spread across 142 contrade – a fragmented landscape characterised by lava flows, elevations and exposures that exhibit a dynamic evolution, mirroring the restless activity of the volcano itself. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">To walk among these vineyards evokes a profound sense of the presence of the volcano: colossal, silent, vibrant. The tension present within the landscape appears to imbue the wines themselves with animating spirit. It’s a collage of micro-terroirs interpreted by a generation of winemakers who understand that restraint is a refined value. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">White Carricante and red Nerello Mascalese thrive here, yielding wines of linear structure, vivid acidity and aromatic precision. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Yet terroir alone doesn’t make a movement. What strikes me most is how the younger winemakers here have committed to a style that avoids density in favour of truth.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Whether it’s the precision of Federico Graziani, the cerebral transparency of Graci’s wines, or the restrained beauty of Girolamo Russo – all on the volcano’s north slope – there’s a shared philosophy: let the mountain speak, don’t over-extract, keep it lifted. It’s a rejection of both global trends and local stereotypes.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Some experts compare Etna with Burgundy. There’s some truth to this, but also something more: Etna is building an identity all of its own that’s authentic to its place. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Nevertheless, I am reluctant to designate this as a distinctive characteristic of Etna. Today, the concept of elegance is influenced by many factors: climate, markets, aesthetics, recent trends and identity. You see the same refinement playing out in Chianti Classico, for example, where Sangiovese is being harvested for lower alcohol and a slender character, oak influence is being reduced and the fruit allowed to breathe. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">In the north, Valpolicella producers are questioning the dominance of ‘wines of method’ such as Amarone in favour of fresher, delicate expressions of Corvina-based blends; even in Barolo, the obsession with structure is giving way to nuance. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">What we’re seeing is less a revolution from below, more an industry-wide recalibration. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Is Etna the leader in this, or simply the most emblematic case? I’d argue it’s both. It leads in the clarity with which it expresses this new Italian elegance – lean, mineral, energetic – but follows in the sense that other regions began to shed their excesses earlier. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The distinguishing characteristic of Etna is the purity of the signal. Here, elegance does not require artificial manipulation; it manifests organically, emanating from the ground. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Pursuing the thought further, what is behind the present exaltation of elegance in Italian wine? Is it a reaction to the super-cuvées of the 1990s and 2000s: wines inflated by oak, extraction and critics’ points? Perhaps climate change is forcing a rethink of ripeness.
