Elegant and savory, this linear white offers delicate scents of spring blossom and yellow stone fruit along with a whiff of citrus. The crisp palate boasts tension and energy, offering yellow pear, apricot, Meyer lemon and tangy mineral notes of saline alongside racy acidity.

The 2018 Etna Bianco has a beautifully polished and glossy approach with star jasmine, bergamot, lemon blossom and lighter tones of crushed stone and ash. The wine is extremely linear, tight and fresh with a lovely progression of aromas that recalls the precision, brightness and lightness you get from this unique white grape on the volcanic soils of Etna. With 70,000 bottles made, this should be an easy wine to locate.

This lithe, light-bodied white offers notes of pineapple and tangerine fruit, with hints of lemon curd and biscotti backed by crackling acidity. The minerally underpinning shows on the finish, with a clean-cut mix of saline and chalk. Drink now through 2026. 10,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.
