Etna Bianco 'Piano dei Daini' 2017

88

The 2017 Etna Bianco is broad and horizontal in character, due to what I must conclude were the hot conditions of the vintage. The fruit is slightly less vibrant here. But you do get citrus, melon and Golden Delicious apple in generous supply. The blend used is 90% Carricante, with smaller parts Catarratto, Grecanico, Inzolia and Minnella. You do get more energy and verve in the mouth, however. The grapes come from the Contrade Piano dei Daini and Santo Spirito. Some 8,000 bottles were made. Drink Date 2018 - 2021

Consistency: 32 - Balance: 33 - Integrity: 31 Sensations: it's thanks to the perfect balance between the softness of the ripe grape and the sum of its lively acidity and majestic tannins that this wine stands out on the palate with an absolutely expressive pleasantness. Pure, clear blackberry fruit, with a rare extractive concentration, a spicy elegance, and once again a spherical expressive harmony.
