Lower ABV One of Etna’s benchmark whites from 80+ year-old vines on the volcano’s eastern slopes. Even though it’s just 12.5% alcohol and made all in steel, the texture here is every bit as remarkable as the flavors. Delicious now and improving through 2030.
"The 2019 Etna Bianco Superiore Pietra Marina captivates. It’s perfumed and floral, with enriching notes of almond paste and confectionery spice that perfectly accentuate a smoky core of white peaches. There’s more lift on the palate, but it's a little backward, possessing wiry textures and an intense mineral core that adds depth to its citrus-inflected orchard fruits. Nervous acidity forces the mouth to water and maintains a dazzling freshness as inner florals resonate and a sour lime concentration settles in. The 2019 is just an infant today, compact yet complex, balanced and loaded with character. It will be a gorgeous Etna Bianco to follow over the next decade or more."
