Gorgeous energy here with nectarine, white flowers and volcanic smoke. The palate shows real finesse. Weightless yet complex, with ginger spice and stony minerality providing structure. A distinctive saline finish speaks to Etna's terroir. Missing some of the electric tension this vineyard typically delivers, but beautifully harmonious nonetheless.
