This is the wine that, when I tasted it many years ago, made me fall in love with Etna. I'm sure I am not the only person to fall under its spell. The 2013 Etna Bianco Superiore Pietra Marina is a pure expression of Carricante that offers a beautiful bouquet, with marine salt and mineral notes, citrus and a twist of orange zest. The wine is linear and pure with a solid sense of structure that passes over the palate with delicate and silky intensity. It ages on the fine lees for 24 months. This was a soggy vintage, but the wine is refined and smooth nonetheless. Pietra Marina has a proven track record for cellar aging.
