Tasting notes
The 2012 Etna Bianco Archineri is 100% Carricante from pre-phylloxera, 125-year-old vines planted in mineral-rich volcanic soils. This is a gorgeous white with loads of citric and flinty intensity. It also shows substance with a thicker, broader approach in the mouth and ripe flavors of peach and Golden Delicious apple. Drink 2014-2018. Located in Solicchiata, Michele Faro is among the new faces on Etna and a member of the fledgling group winemakers known as the “Etna Boys.” The estate was founded in 2005 and has 11 hectares of vineyard on the north face of Etna ranging from 600 to 900 meters above sea level. Pietradolce was developed with the help of consulting oenologist Carlo Ferrini. Importer: Empson USA, www.empsonusa.com
