Pietra Marina Etna Bianco Superiore Carricante


smells like seashells, like i’m on the coast. lots of salinity. also funky- native yeast? 80 yr old vines. considered a Grand Cru level. sandy soil. fresh lemon, lime, super crisp. 2013 is considered a great vintage. aged 2 yrs in bottle. delicious. medium acid. fresh, crisp but soft.
