2019 Aeris Etna Bianco Superiore (750mL)

The exquisite 2019 Etna Bianco Superiore hails from the eastern slopes of the CasselleContrada near Milo on Mount Etna. Showcasing the unique terroir of this renowned volcanic region, it was crafted from the indigenous Carricante grape. A testament to the rich and complex character of Mount Etna Carricante, the bouquet offers a harmonious blend of citrus zest and ripe melon, elegantly intertwined with delicate floral whispers. On the palate, vibrant acidity and fresh citrus flavors lead the charge before transitioning into a luscious melon richness that is beautifully complemented by subtle, yet distinctive, notions of fresh honeycomb. Along the way, Mount Etna’s signature volcanic minerality shines through, imparting a crisp, almost electric edge to the wine, with the unique almond oil-like texture providing a palate-defining experience that lingers elegantly on the finish.
