The 2021 Etna Bianco keeps me swirling and at the edge of the glass, opening at first with an understated blend of raw almond and yellow apple, yet deepening over time, as spicy floral tones and hints of young kiwi come to the fore. While silky and pliant upon entry, a wave of salinetinged orchard fruits floods the palate, carried by zesty acidity, which leaves a mouthwatering tension toward the close. The 2021 tapers off perfumed, with medium length and a bitter taste that keeps me looking back to the glass for another sip. The Etna Bianco is a blend of 70% Carricante and 30% Catarratto.
