Made entirely from Carricante, Donnafugata’s Etna Bianco displays an immediately engaging floral component. A crisp and chiseled wine, it captures the best elements of that grape. This paradoxically vibrant, yet restrained, wine starts to blossom after 30 minutes in the glass. Its refreshing, saline-tinged acidity keeps it fresh, and you coming back for more, throughout the meal. This mid-weight, mineral-laden white is just what you want for the hot and humid months ahead.
