Terre Nere Etna Bianco Le Vigne Niche-Montalto 2020

Mango, lemon oil, dried flowers and a dusting of ginger spice open this high-altitude Carricante with genuine depth and richness. Silky in texture, the wine moves across the mouth with ripe apple and pear before pivoting to savory herb and raw almond on the back end. A salty mineral thread runs through to the close, where green melon and volcanic stone linger with impressive freshness. Sourced from vines between 900–975 meters on Etna's southern slopes, grown in deep volcanic ash soils — the terroir shows clearly.
