Maugeri 'Frontebosco' Contrada Volpare Etna Bianco Superiore, Sicily, Italy 2023

Description

From Carricante vines rooted in volcanic soils of Contrada Volpare on Etna’s eastern slopes, this Bianco Superiore is tense, mineral, and refined. Aromas of citrus zest, green apple, wild herbs, and white flowers rise from the glass, underpinned by a distinct saline note. The palate is precise and linear, with vibrant acidity, stony minerality, and layers of lemon, pear, and subtle almond. Finishing long and mouthwatering, it’s a pure and expressive Etna white that captures both volcanic energy and coastal freshness.
