Easily one of our favorite Etna Bianco wines, Nerina is a seamless integration of fruit and minerality. A field blend of 70+% Carricante with Catarratto, Inzolia, Grecanico, Minnella, and Coda di Volpe, elevation tops off at 800 meters, in the Contradas of Feudo, San Lorenzo and Calderara Sottana. A mix of old centenarian vines and newly planted ones, fermentation and aging take place in both large barrels and steel. The wine does not go through malolactic fermentation; hence, the acidity feels sharp and tightly zippered. Pale yellow in color, green peach, salted melon, and lemon confit entice the senses, followed by crushed Mediterranean garrigue. There's a pleasant juiciness on the palate, as you sink your teeth into the crunchiness of wet rocks and smoky stones. Generous, yet, bright, it's impossible not to reach for another glass. ~Allegra A
