Although it carries the “Etna Bianco” designation, the wine is 97% Carricante with just a dollop of Cataratto. It is a full-bodied wine, though not in the least a clumsy one, with flavors of fresh apples with some citrus notes. It has some of flavor characteristics of, for comparison, both Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. Overall, the wine is quite nice with good acidity and light tannins in the finish.
