Note di degustazione
The 2021 Etna Bianco Archineri is a beautiful wine with the crystalline luminosity and bright aromas that you look for in a wine from Etna made with the popular Carricante grape. In this case, fruit comes from pre-phylloxera vines at 900 meters in elevation. There is some saltiness and crushed oyster shell with grapefruit, unripe peach and green apple. Production is 7,000 bottles.

We commence with the 2021 Etna Bianco Archineri from Pietradolce. My colleague, Erico Guido, is a fan of this wine. One sip, and I understand why. The aromatics offer tantalizing whiffs of the Mediterranean Sea, hints of iodine and green olive, understated yet gaining stature with aeration, just a background scent of dry straw mixed with oyster shell. The palate is extremely well-balanced, saline and focused, and it is fairly penetrating towards the finish. The perfect way to commence any lunch or dinner, this carries admirable intellectual weight and deliciousness.
