Why this wine
Etna is an active volcano with vineyards on its slopes, and Carricante grown at altitude in that black soil produces one of the most distinctive whites in Europe — saline, smoky, and capable of ageing. The most interesting Italian white here.

Description
How it tastes
Citrus peel, green apple and white peach lifted by notes of wild herbs, white flowers and a distinctive smoky-volcanic minerality. Fresh, linear and finely detailed. Precise and mineral-driven with vibrant acidity and flavours of lemon, pear and saline wet stone. Subtle herbal notes and volcanic tension build towards a long, clean finish marked by purity, texture and mountain freshness. Classic Etna Bianco taut, refined and beautifully balanced.
