"Honeyed florals, candied ginger, hints of fennel and crushed green apples form a spicy and inviting bouquet as the 2023 Etna Bianco opens in the glass. This plays depths of ripe orchard fruit against a core of salty minerals and savory spices as a wave of stimulating acidity completely resets the palate. The 2023 tapers off perfumed and long, leaving a pleasantly sour tinge of citrus that puckers the cheeks." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"A perfect, delicious wine. With the spontaneous grace of a dancer, it never loses its brightness and pace. Subtly drinkable, as it ages, the nobility of its terroir emerges decisively. And grace becomes thoughtful and profound, but always graceful, never redundant. With fish, chicken, rabbit. With prosciutto and melon, salami and figs. With fish first courses, risotto. It has great versatility and ease of drinking."
