Quick save for later reflection... earthy smoky medium with juicy berries and evolving tannins

16.5/20 (90/100) Аромат с нотами кураги, сухих яблок, изюма и канифоли. Умеренная кислотность, легкая танинность, горчинка. Аккуратный и приятный оранж.

Wow. Predominantly carricante (with a field blend of minnella, inzolia, grecancico, and catarratto), this Sicilian white from the slopes of Mt Etna is truly unique. Deep golden hue, the wine has aromatics of violet, ash, and maybe even some iodine if you can believe it. The almost red-like quality extends to the palate, which is rich and voluptuous with evolving flavors that echo the nose. Dropping the temp a bit really brings out the latent acidity and creates great balance to support a lingering finish. Absolutely terrific wine.
