Made from 70% Carricante and 30% Catarratto grapes. Bright straw colour with a watery hue. Aromas of citrus, pear and lightly baked apple are followed by some quince and subtle flinty mineral notes. Light across the palate yet nicely textured it has flavours of apples, pears, very faint notions of honeysuckle, quince and a delicate minerality. Dry finish with fresh acidity and a moderate aftertaste of apples, pears, quince and traces of minerality.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.

Other Reviews….
Made with a blend of 70% Carricante and 30% Catarratto, the 2016 Etna Bianco is a wine that invites easy (and happy) drinking. This is a streamlined and tonic expression with salty mineral tones followed by white peach and Golden Delicious apple. The Graci trademark is balance, and this wine shows impeccable harmony with a beautifully polished finish. Drink 2017-2022.
