  2020 Etna Bianco, Pietradolce

  £1995

  Made from ancient Pre-phylloxera Carricante vines grown on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, 800 metres above sea level. Carricante takes its name from carico, meaning ‘charged, loaded, burdened’ which refers to the abundant fruit on the vine.

  In the glass this wine displays a piercingly mineral aroma; salty, herbaceous, grassy notes combine with soft white peach and a flinty, stony-inflected tang. The wine is crisp, lean with vibrant. Its racy acidity provides a fresh, clear and linear mouthfeel. Lemon juice and lemon peel lead to a long and refreshing finish.

  A wonderful expression of Sicilian white wine and great value!

  2021 Etna Rosso, Pietradolce

  £2600

  Pietradolce’s single-vineyard bottlings are among Etna’s most highly regarded. Pietradolce is all about the terroir and this 2019 Etna Rosso is made from 100% Nero Mascalese grapes grown at 800m on the northern slopes of Mount Etna.  The vineyard has rich volcanic soils and an intense day/night temperature swing which helps to provide their wines with extraordinary richness, texture, aroma and depth.

  In the glass, this wine opens with fragrant aromas of cherry, raspberry, herbs, chocolate and spice are joined by a subtle saline tang. It’s a similar theme in the mouth, with herbs and spice dancing around the core of vibrant, juicy raspberry and cherry fruits. Creamy softness emerges on the mid-palate, as well as some tannic grip, leading to a long, fresh, slightly saline finish that leaves you wanting another sip.

  A perfect introduction to the beautiful wines of Sicily.
