Torre Mora
Scalunera Etna Bianco Carricante Catarratto
Etna, Catania, Sicily, Italy
Nice nose of smoke, smashed rocks that echo slate, some rubber (but the good rubber) and a nice clear aromatic expression. Seems like it has more to give. Palate is ripe but also energetic and pillowy. Lovely green flavors and a long finish. Like a liquid satin. Very juicy on the finish. Balanced and pure. Good now but no fireworks. Let’s see if air provides the fireworks. Some nice sea breeze and saline aspects now on the nose. It’s nice but not sure if it will make the cut. I’m sure it’s a billion dollars.
