"Spicy and full of tension, the 2022 Etna Bianco Le Vigne Niche Montalto bursts from the glass with a blend of lemon zest, minty herbs, young peaches and crushed rocks. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness and crisp minerality, rushing the palate with ripe orchard fruits elevated by candied citrus. The Montalto finishes with fantastic length and potency, lightly structured and tactile. This gorgeous Etna Bianco is drinking beautifully today yet with the balance to promote medium-term cellaring."

"Marco de Grazia has bottled this south-side Etna Bianco since 2019, sourced from vines at 950m in Montalto, Biancavilla. Compared to the northern whites, this is softer, fleshier, and peachier in aroma, yet still with superb acidity. Notes of stone and pineapple give vitality to this delicious, sapid unoaked white."

"Nice dried apple and lemon with some mineral and stone character on both the nose and palate. It also shows some pumice. Medium body. Crisp and layered."
