The nose has lively and fresh aromas of salt, lime and warm rock, before deeper, juicier flavors of white peach and yellow apple emerge. Those notes all continue onto the palate, fortified by a blast of ferocious acid and a powerful current of salt.

Very pure and minerally nose that delivers a stony, precise feel, almost like sniffing a quarry. Some smoked tarragon and lemon zest, too. Impressive mid-palate tension here with nervy acidity and minerality. Pure and long. Delicious now.

The 2022 Etna Bianco Archineri wafts up with a spicy blend of dusty dried flowers, shaved ginger and zest of lime. It’s round and supple, with a pretty inner sweetness and ripe orchard fruits offset by a core of tactile minerals. Brisk acidity adds a mouthwatering quality through the close as this finishes with medium length, leaving behind hints of candied citrus and fresh mint.
