Founded around a decade ago in Castiglione di Sicilia, this project is run by the Ponzini sisters; one does the winemaking and the other is the agronomist. This Etna Bianco is a field blend of 40-year-old vines comprising around 90% Carricante and 10% of other grapes, including Catarratto, Grecanico, Inzolia and Minnella Bianco. Peach, grapefruit, flowers and herbs are entwined with some salinity and a lick of lime juice; it just lacks some concentration but that can be put down to the vintage, perhaps.

Notes of sliced apples and chalky lemons with hints of rosemary and stony minerality. Crisp and a little salty on the palate with a medium body and crunchy acidity. Zesty at the end. Drink now.
