In the glass

A Sicilian white with real weight and a salty, lemony bite, from rainy vines high on Etna. It was held back four years before release.

A white from almost a hectare of old bush vines at 900 metres on Mount Etna's rainy eastern slope. Lemon that leans towards lemon curd, honeyed yellow fruit and apple, a pinch of sea salt and a bright, mouth-watering acidity. It has spent a year and a half in steel tanks and two more years in bottle, so it pours with weight and a gentle savoury edge rather than as a sharp young white.
