compact richness in this vintage

planting the vineyard took him away from his day job building railroad equipment

but in the right places

Fermented and aged in a mix of concrete and steel without the addition of sulfur

In a year when Franck Lihour had to dodge hailstones during harvest

Ciro and Stephanie Biondi Etna Bianco Outis (Nessuno) 2025 Region:Sicily compact richness in this vintageAt its best, Etna wines are perfectly balanced at a point of tension between crackling bright or smoke driven minerality and profound fruit. Ciro and Stephanie Biondi live at that balance point. This white is caught mid volcanic eruption with mineral intensity, but the fruit comes like a cloud of peaches and citrus, and somehow it's all delightfully balanced. Primarily made from Carricante, with small additions of Cataratto, Minella, and others.
