Outstanding wine. Minerally and saline. Excellent seafood wine. Not cheap, but shows what Carricante can do on the east slopes of Mt. Etna!!

The azor ahai of white wines, born from salt and smoke, wakes dragons from stone. No flaming sword but the tart lemon rind notes work in a pinch. Valar dohaeris

Dry. Floral and fruity. Needs some alcohol to blow off and then it was great

Extremely balanced and fruity Solid acidity and good floral and fruit that really helped offset salmon Milanese.

What I really love about this wine is how it provides depth and freshness with great drinkability. No real oak. No butter. No crazy guava or tropical nonsense.
