Tasting
| Color Desc | Deep garnet red, almost opaque with violet-purple reflections. |
| Aroma | Complex and evolving: ripe black plum, dried fig at opening, then black licorice, bitter chocolate, leather, brown tobacco, dried violet, forest floor notes, and a hint of peppery spice after a short carafe. |
| Palate | Full-bodied, velvety yet powerful; high acidity lifts the wine, firm tannins softened by four years of bottle age, rich fruit core balanced by spice and leather. |
| Finish | Long, persistent finish with black pepper, dark cherry, and licorice lingering on the palate. |
| Food Pairing | Braised red meats (beef, osso buco), game (wild boar, venison, pheasant), herb-roasted lamb, very aged Pecorino or Parmigiano, black truffles, and dark chocolate (>70%). |
| Serving Temp | 18 - 20 |

Interesting facts
| Etnico is the top-range cuvée of Di Filippo, sourced from the oldest vines and the most rigorous parcel selection. The estate has been certified organic since 1994 and biodynamic since 2008, using horse-driven ploughing and a flock of geese for weeding. |
