Planeta Etna Bianco 2016

Sicily, ItalyPlaneta has 6 properties on Siciliy, spread across 6 distinct terroirs. This carricante comes from the Montelaguardia vineyard at Feudo di Mezzo winery, in the centre of Etna’s wine growing area in the north east part of the island. Fifteen percent is fermented and aged in barriques, with the remainder in stainless. Strikingly direct on the palate, with candle wax, yellow plum, pear, and perfumed quince. There's a buzzy acidity and bed of stones that brightens this medium bodied white, lashed with enlivening minerality and lined with a slick of lees. Very complete and impactful for 13 degrees.Tasted: 11 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
