Etna Bianco Carricante Blend 2021

Blend of blend of 60% Carricante, 25% Catarratto, 10% Grecanico and 5% Minnella, aged in French oak for 10 months. Pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits adding honeysuckle blossom. On the palate flavors of apple, apricot and lemon citrus with creamy vanilla wrapped in generous acidity, long finish ending with wet stone minerality. Nice! — 24 days ago

More concentrated and hedonistic than I expected, but showing well and should be very compelling in a couple years — a month ago

Pietra Marina Etna Bianco Superiore Carricante

First bottle had oxidation and was a touch towards vinegar.

2nd bottle was fresh and gorgeous. Great fruit flavors. Somewhat apricot and floral. Lovely.

'a Rina Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese - Nerello Cappuccio

What a lovely and delightful wine! We served it along with a root vegetable pot roast over jalapeño cheddar grits, and all of my guests thought it worked really well. It has enough strength and backbone along with graceful bright fruit, and that fabulous Italian acidity. What a wonderful food wine.  — 14 days ago
