Opening to mild citrus and grassy notes, the Tornatore 2024 Etna Bianco offers upfront Carricante aromas in a simple presentation. The wine is fresh and easy-drinking with good acidity and a lean texture.
Tornatore Etna Bianco is a dry white wine with high acidity and minerality, featuring aromas of citrus, white flowers, and hints of grapefruit and peach, along with subtle volcanic ash and herbal notes. The palate is crisp, fresh, and mineral-driven, showcasing flavors of lemon, green apple, and a characteristic saline finish from the Etna volcanic terroir.
Sicily's vines nestle and flourish under the Mediterranean sun off the mainland in Italy's deep south. And while the island grows its fair share of marquee grapes, the edgy Mount Etna DOC contains a scarcely mentioned white wine by the name of Carricante which is perhaps amongst Italy's bravest. Mount Etna is one of the world's most active volcanoes and also sits in the vicinity of vineyards that benefit from the angry volcano's rich mineral deposits and smoky influence. Amongst a select bunch of courageous wine estates is the rising star of Tornatore which is relatively young but is already at the top its game, harvesting fruit from vineyards sat 1000 metres above sea level. Francesco Tornatore has nurtured a vibrant Carricante style that drinks of copious melon, apple and citrus zest balanced by pure elegance and minerality.
