On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of citrus zest, wild herbs, flinty minerality, and subtle almond. The palate is taut and precise, driven by vibrant acidity and a notable saline character, with layers of lemon oil, crushed stone, and dried chamomile unfolding with air. The finish is long, elegant, and deeply mineral, reflecting both the terroir and the wine's aging potential. This vintage is a striking expression of Etna's unique landscape. |
