Federico Curtaz Gamma Etna Bianco Carricante 2018
A Piedmontese by birth, Federico Curtaz found his way to Etna after a career with Angelo Gaja and as a consulting winemaker. This lovely, precise and elegant expression of Etna Carricante has a beautifully French sensibility to it. Fabulously chic in texture, aromatically dazzling and mineral to the core. It's proper Etna Bianco, with a Chablisienne accent! Vintage: 2018 Country: Italy Region: Sicily Appellation: Etna Grape: Carricante Drink: Now-2025

Dusty yellow flowers, smoke, crushed stone, nectarine and hints of hazelnut lift up from the 2018 Etna Bianco Gamma, creating a deeply alluring display. It’s soft and textural, balancing ripe orchard fruits against hints of sour green citrus and salty mineral tones. Notes of young mango and peach linger, along with a subtle buzz of residual acidity, all under a pretty air of inner florals. This highly enjoyable Carricante is showing beautifully already, but it should also excel for a number of years in a cold cellar. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2021)
