2021 | Pietradolce | Archineri Etna Bianco

Its lively aromas highlight the freshness and lovely character of this wine. Because of the volcanic soil, its mineral component and the unique climate conditions, this Etna white has the pronounced minerality and unabashed acidity typical to wines of this territory.

Reviews:

• Decanter: Pietradolce's entry-level Etna Bianco is from younger vines grown at 800m on the northern slopes of Mt Etna. Perfumed and fruity, it shows great balance with a tightness across the waist.

• James Suckling: Lots of melon and lemon-rind aromas with some sage and mustard seed, following through to a full body with a creamy texture and lemony finish. I like the floral and lemon-zest highlight that gives the wine energy at the end.

Producer Information

Pietradolce was established in 2005 on the northern slopes of Mount Etna by the Faro family, whose passions are viticulture, agriculture. High altitudes, mineral-rich volcanic soils, native grapes, an exceptional Mediterranean climate, low intervention in the cellar, and very old vines are the perfect ingredients for elegant wines with a one-of-a-kind signature, style, and enormous sense of place. The vineyards are composed of stony, light, sandy loam, with abundant mineral elements. The soil is the result of the numerous eruptions by Mount Etna throughout the centuries, which gives the wines special characteristics and makes them completely unique. Mount Etna enjoys a unique micro-climate that is cooler than other areas in Sicily.
