Scores

"Tasted in the summer of 2022, this library wine shows impressive tension and tonic freshness. Made solely with Carricante, the 2016 Etna Bianco Archineri maintains a light and luminous shine. The bouquet has started to transition to some Riesling-like aromas of petroleum wax and dried nectarine. This is an impressive white that shows no signs of slowing down."
94 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate 

Tasting Notes

From vines planted over a century ago on sandy loam soils at over 850m on Etna’s vertiginous slopes, this is a remarkable expression of the indigenous Carricante grape.   Detailed notes of white peach, lemon, lime and soft sage create a full and distinct aroma which leads to an elegant, intense mouthfeel; stony, chalky minerals fill the palate which has a fine texture thanks to some gentle lees stirring.

Bottle shot of 2019 Barbagalli Etna Rosso
Tasting Notes

“A captivating blend of autumnal spice, dried cherries, balsam herbs and ashen stone smolders up from the 2019 Etna Rosso Barbagalli. It’s silky and enveloping yet cool-toned, with shades of lavender and sage that give way to mineral-inflected red and black fruits. Brisk acidity maintains balance as grippy tannins settle in and a tart blackberry saturation lingers on.” Eric Guido,...
