Can I assume that the Etna Rosso was Nerello Mascalese? I've had a number of them recently and they always remind me of a cross between Grenache and Pinot Noir.

Cappuccio? I had to get past those impressions of Scilian wines also. I've been drinking a lot of Passopisciaro lately which is from Etna and made from Nerello Mascalese, the top line wine is called Franchetti and is made from Petite Verdot and Cesanese both from high up on Mt Etna.
