Some fruit up front followed by minerals and then a slight citrus finish. Very enjoyable.

Apple, lemon zest, slate, hay and hints of apricot. Good acidity and minerality.

A different kind of Etna volcanic wine. Less limestone and more butter and smooth tone. Less acid and more of a balanced quince, almost radish and subtle floral note. Amber yellow, which is expression of carricante and catarratto grape.
