Etna, Italy

WineSaint
Crushed limestone and sea spray define this mineral-driven Carricante from Etna's volcanic slopes. Lemon pith and green apple weave through the precise, saline palate, while extended lees aging builds texture without masking the variety's natural tension. The finish is long and chalky, with citrus oils lingering.
