Etna Bianco 'Guardoilvento', Pietro Caciorgna, Sicily, Italy 2022
A very exciting new white wine from Paolo Caciorgna (winemaker of the finest Etna Rossos you will ever taste!) and a wine that conveys an impression of the vineyard’s soil as eloquently as any Sancerre or Mosel Riesling. There’s gunflint and wispy chalk and smoky pumice that underpins the crystal clear grapefruit, mandarin and lemon verbena flavours, which finish wonderfully clean and precise, like a sharply guillotined ream of paper. 13% alc. A blend of Carricante, Catarratto, Inzolia and Minella. Drink now-2027
James Suckling: “Lots of guava, lemon zest, smoke, stones and geraniums on the nose, following through to a medium body with crisp acidity. Sharp and citrusy with a crunchy and salty finish.” 92 points
