This is a tense, nervous wine, with so much energy and savory minerality. Saline, lightly floral, and barely fruity (the fruit that does come through reminds me of preserved lemon, melon, and green almond), this is a wine that can be enjoyed now but will also greatly reward you in a few years' time.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThe delicate 2023 Etna Bianco Superiore Vigna Di Milo entices with an array of dusty florals, shaved ginger and freshly sliced peach.
