About this product
The benchmark Etna Bianco Superiore — from ancient Carricante vines (the native white variety) in Milo on Etna's east slope, the only zone permitted to use 'Superiore' on the label. Volcanic basalt and altitude produce extraordinary mineral tension: white peach, lemon blossom, green almond, flint, and saline mineral. The most collectible white wine from an active volcano in Europe — ages 10-15 years with confidence. Italy's answer to Chablis Grand Cru mineral intensity.

Etna Bianco Superiore Pietramarina's volcanic mineral tension and white stone fruit character is the definitive match for simply grilled whole fish. The wine's saline mineral spine mirrors the Mediterranean sea while the lemon amplifies the Carricante's characteristic citrus brightness.
