This is not IGT. It’s Etna Blanco DOC. Burnished green gold with straw gold glints. Ripe apricot and spice on the abundantly inviting nose. Medium full palate yields dried apricots, baked quince, spice, and yellow flowers wrapped around a firm backbone of almost tingly acidity. Finish is lengthy and continues the palate. Southern Italy wins the white war again with this highly aromatic white from Mt. Etna. Perfect match for your take out pasta carbonara or any higher end Mediterranean fare. Drink now through 2026.

Not as exciting as I expected from the reviews. The minerality is gentle and the fruit is flat pear. Pretty acidic. Good with spicy food. You can get a similar wine for cheaper.
