Etna Bianco Carricante Blend
Etna, Catania, Sicily, Italy
An outstanding Italian white, I just had to taste again. 100% Carricante grown in deep volcanic soil, aged in French oak for 10 months . Pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits and honeysuckle blossom. On the palate flavors of apple, apricot and lemon citrus with creamy vanilla wrapped in generous acidity, long finish ending with wet stone minerality. Nice, consistent quality.

2017 brings tremendous intensity. Love the push-pull between flesh and minerality, fruit and savor.

Great balance of minerality and depth with nice bouquet. Does justice to the reputation of andesitic soil of Etna.

Bright acidity, floral and citrus notes and minerals on the finish. Really good wine! Bought at RV. $22.
