Sicily's white wine revelation from volcanic Etna's north face, producing 100% Carricante and Catarratto of extraordinary mineral precision on ancient basalt soils at 600–1,000 metres altitude. Etna Bianco Superiore from the Milo contrada is the appellation's crown; the wine's saline, mineral, and citrus character with natural high acidity belies its Sicilian origins and rivals fine Chablis and Sancerre.
