Terrific old-vine Etna minerality, green pear and lees-induced brioche funkiness that quickly blows off. Fantastic producer, cannot wait to visit! Better than some white burgundy at a third the price.

Driven by it's minerality. Pre-phylloxera vineyard at 850m, high up on mount Etna. Textured wine with a feeling of salt & (volcanic) stones. And acids! Nice find.

Good full bright yellow. Perfumed aromas of melon, honey and lime. Light, fine-grained fresh citrus and melon flavors are deepened by subtle peach and mineral notes, which gain power on the long back end. The finish is nicely focused and offers repeating citrus and floral notes. Made from Carricante vines that are mostly over 100 years old planted at 850 meters above sea level on the eastern slope of Etna. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, August 2019)

Mouth watering saline. Almost a chalky dryness. Great acidity and tons of minerality. A fun wine!
