Light petillance. Aromatic, savoury, herbal. Ripe stone fruit, leesy and creamy. Good upfront character, lacking depth but decent spiced (ginger) and herbal finish. Good

2014 - Great vintage for this Etna Bianco blend of Carricante, Catarratto, Minnella. Such a long finish with nice melange of saltiness and smooth acidity. Great wine. #etnakalatour

Wow, this wine is really something!! My first Etna white (80% Carricante, 15% Catarratto, 5% Minella), I can’t get over the combination of intense tropical fruit flavors (pineapple, melon, apricot) and equally intense salinity and citrus. A long savory finish and mouth-puckeringly delicious! 🤗

Dull, bland. Rather round, bit yeast, tangy and apple in flavour. Nothing off, but not much going for the wine.
