100% Carricante
"Always a standout Etna Bianco, without any frills, the 2024 shows generous aromas of white peach, apricot, lemon peel and white flowers. It's stunningly fresh and bright, with a streak of salinity cutting through pithy citrus and stone fruits. Wonderful balance and precision." - James Button, DECANTER MAGAZINE
LUCA MARONI 96 POINTS
From the comune of Castiglione di Sicilia on the north side of the volcano, at 720-750 meters elevation. Made in stainless steel, no oak
A pure expression of Mt. Etna, the Etna Bianco is 100% Caricante, an ancient Sicilian white grape variety, thought to have been growing on the volcanic slopes of Mt. Etna for at least a thousand years. Planted at high altitudes on the steep slopes of Mt. Etna, the grapes ripen slowly and steadily throughout the long growing season. On the nose, the Etna Bianco is bursting with citrus notes of lemon and cedar with orange blossom and jasmine. A full-bodied palate is supported by the marked acidity typical of this variety, imparting freshness and a long finish.
