This is 90% Carricante and 10% Riesling from the north slopes of Mt. Etna just outside the DOC boundaries. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has asparagus, smoke, minerals and white flowers. A lovely velvety texture that is slightly oily. Light tannins. A very interesting palate with tarragon, lime and saline. Moderate finish with some green apple notes. This is complex and interesting but also a very nice wine for food. While it works on its own, this would be great with sardines or even salmon. Drink over the next five to ten years.
