Italy | Sicily | Light Bodied | Catarratto Bianco |
Etna is understandably renowned for its fine, perfumed reds but the high altitude whites, mainly from the endemic Carricante grape, can be remarkable. Crisp and mineral with great depth and texture, from Nicosia's best, organically farmed vineyard sites. Pronounced and complex nose with savoury, nutty aromas and hints of fennel, ginger and white spice. The palate is fine, concentrated and textural, with crisp citrus and lightly honeyed stone fruit balanced by minerality and sappy acidity.
