Carricante grapes with 10% of Minnella from a new venture of respected winemaker Salvo Foti: Palmento Caselle, on Mount Etna eastern side (800 mt. a.s.l.), in Milo, the center of typical whites of the region. Saltiness, texture and nice acidity all rounded in a highly drinkable white. — 8 years ago
