93pts James Suckling

Honeysuckle, apple blossoms, oyster shells and flint. Medium-bodied, this has a fresh, crunchy palate with a subtle mineral and light-iodine character. A blend of carricante and catarratto, planted at 700 feet.

91pts Vinous

The 2024 Etna Bianco Contrada Monte Gorna resonates with a savory herbal tinge as crushed stones and hints of camphor complicate its green apple fruit. Soothingly round and pliant, this splashes across the palate with ripe orchard fruit tones. This tapers off with a salty tension, long and potent, leaving behind a perfumed air of inner florals.

Winemaker Notes

Straw-yellow color with brilliant golden highlights. Complex and elegant on the nose with notes of apple, grapefruit, hawthorn and honey. Incredibly fresh taste with mineral notes, along with a particular anise finish.

Perfect pairing with shellfish risotto, seafood dishes, fried fish and vegetable tempura.
