2020 Etna Bianco, de Aetna, Terra Costantino

The nose shows mineral notes, bruised apple and a whiff on wood smoke. The palate has richness and depth, but also taut structure and full acidity, making a wine of great poise and elegance.

There’s a tropical flair to the 2020 Etna Bianco DeAetna that makes it a total pleasure on the nose, as notes of pineapple, green melon and hints of confectioners’ spice fill the senses. It’s soft-textured, enveloping the palate in ripe orchard fruits, yet nicely balanced by lime-tinged acidity that maintains marvelous freshness. The 2020 De Aetna finishes with a gentle tug of residual tension and salty mineral tones that are left to linger on. Start to finish, this is a highly pleasurable Etna Bianco. The blend is 80% Carricante, 15% Catarratto and 5% Minnella.
