Tornatore Pietrarizzo Etna Bianco 2021

Etna, Sicily, ItalyExpect a medium straw yellow colour. The nose is mildly exotic, with yellow flowers and perfume drifting out of the glass. Citrus, almonds, green apple, and white peach fill a lively palate full of minerality and brightness. Tornatore focuses on indigenous varieties: Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante and Catarratto. In this case, the latter two make up the Pietrarizzo blend of one of the largest and oldest producers in the region situated on the north face of an active volcano Mount Etna, 650m above sea level. Tornatore has been around since 1865 and is still family-run by the ancestors.Tasted: 28 September 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
