92 Antonio Gallini Pale bright yellow. Citrus peel, botanical herbs and subtle minerality on the nose. Highly concentrated and deep; mineral-driven iodine notes intensify the brisk, herbal lemon and nectarine flavors. Finishes long with a bright lemony nuance. Steely and stony as wines made with Carricante ought to be, but with enough underlying pliancy and sweetness to avoid coming off as excessively strict. Much better and more reminiscent of Etna than the very ripe 2015 Etna Bianco.
