93 / 100"Made from 100% carricante, this is a delightful illustration of why the whites of Mount Etna should not be ignored. It’s a multi-layered and subtle wine that opens with pear and nectarine, floral with a very subtle herbal element. There is also underlying power and minerality that becomes more clear on the palate: stony complexity and citrus fruits supported by fresh acidity that helps it through to a lingering finish."

"A very classic dry white for this appellation that combines all the lemon character – from blossoms to candied fruit of the carricante varietal with the special, smoky minerality of Etna. Plenty of depth."

"A perfumed white, with white blossoms and ripe fruit on the nose, this is saline and mouth-watering on the palate. Offers a touch of lemon zest enlivening flavors of Asian pear, blanched almond and chamomile."
