The 2012 Etna Bianco shows deep volcanic characteristics of crushed mineral and brimstone with a heightened fruit presence of stone fruit and ripe grapefruit. This Carricante is beautifully delineated and crisp with an enormous sense of inner energy and vitality. It shows a slow steady presence in the mouth that builds in intensity. Drink 2014-2020.
Le Vigne di Eli is Marco de Grazia-s second line of Etna wines that is dedicated to his daughter. Her colorful drawings are featured on the labels.
