Azienda Agricola F. Tornatore - Etna Bianco "Pietrarizzo" Sicily, Italy 2019 Wine Enthusiast 95 Points - #33 Top 100 of 2020! "Made predominantly from Carricante with a drop of Catarratto, this smooth, stunning white offers delicate, enticing scents of Spanish broom, chamomile, ripe white-stone fruit and a whiff of smoke. Savory and loaded with elegance, the medium-bodied, focused palate features juicy Meyer lemon, ripe Bartlett pear, golden apple and tangy, saline mineral notes. Bright acidity lends tension and balance. Drink through 2025." -Kerin O’Keefe Newsletter Special - $24.99 *Arrives Early Next Week “Our vineyards and our winery are only a few kilometers from our family home. Our entire family is rooted there. We have the greatest respect for this region, and we believe we have a responsibility to be stewards of Etna and to reflect its distinct character in our wines.” - Giuseppe Tornatore Tornatore’s vineyards are structured to maximize quality and maintain deep links to the territory and local winemaking traditions. Dense plantings (6,000 vines/hectare) and native Sicilian grapes ensure the production of wines that are truly representative of the terroir. Grapes are harvested by hand and vinified in the modern winery that unwaveringly maintains historical traditions. Their wines take root on the Northern slopes of Mount Etna, the tallest active volcano on the European continent. 114 acres of vines are planted at 550 to 700 meters above sea level in fertile, fast-draining volcanic soils. Basking in ample Sicilian sunshine and warmth, the vineyards also benefit from the rainfall and moderating breezes provided by Mount Etna.
