Giovanni Rosso Etna Bianco 2022 (750ML)

94 DE / 94 JA

Fresh and clean on the nose, thick and wide, but with such clarity and juiciness - really lovely pink grapefruit, lemon and apple with crushed stone minerality and a touch of spice around the edges. Feels accessible and friendly, almost with a butteriness that gives a slightly thick texture. Round and forward, lots of life to this with gorgeous juicy acidity that really lifts the expression. Great stuff, have chilled with seafood! Ageing in stainless steel tanks for five months on the lees with regular batonnages every week. From 5.5 hectares planted in 1975 in Solicchiata - Montedolce. Davide Rosso direction, Andrea Delpiano winemaker. - GH, Decanter

Speaks of its soils, and I love it for that, so much heart and powerful salt-scraping joy. White flowers and citrus combine with pummice stone and lemon rind to give the tension and grip that leads this wine upwards through the palate from beginning to end. Sculpting, persistant, delicious. 5.5ha estate, Andrea Delpianoa winemaker. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
