Description
Captivating and bright, from volcanic soils. Etna Bianco DOP is a concentrated serum of Sicilian gastronomic explosion: it ranges from floral notes of mandarin blossom to candied ginger, whilst the palate is tickled by alternated salt and lemon. Wine Spectator speaks of "baked pineapple" in calling it "a richer approach to young Carricante, but well-balanced and vibrant throughout.”
