Planeta Mt. Etna Bianco 2022 750ml

92 Points Wine Enthusiast | An intensely smoky nose draws balance from undertones of ripe melon, lemon zest, pepper and an umami cheesiness that brings a charcuterie board to mind. The palate is equally smoky, with persistent citrus, plus a warm undercurrent of salt, continuing to provide balance. The Carricante grapes from Etna are the result of the combination of black sand and altitude, which provide distinct aromas and three dimensional flavors. In this vintage, there are notes of white acacia flowers, fresh almonds and mountain peaches. On the palate it is juicy and full of hints of yellow plums and prickly pear. This wine pairs perfectly with raw fish and fresh fruit, with fish appetizers and soft cheeses. It is also a refined aperitif. Winemaker Description.
