Pietradolce Etna Bianco 2015
Erice, Sicily, ItalyFrom one of the top producers in Sicily, this is carricante (carico means 'burdened' which refers to the abundant fruit on these bush vines) 800m above sea level on the sandy loam northern slopes of Mount Etna. This was vinified and matured in stainless steel, preserving the pure fruit and the electric acidity of volcanic Etna. White asparagus leads ample salty minerality, broken stones, herbal lees and brisk lemon pith/peel on this light/medium bodied, structural and defined frame. Profound, with appealing angularity and intriguing complexity, this drinks beautifully now in youth, but will reward further with time in the cellar.Tasted: 16 November 2016Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $25.49 | 750ml | private wine shops |
