2023 Ayunta Nerello Mascalese Bianco, Etna, Italy

This Sicilian wine is made from the red Nerello Mascalese grape by direct pressing to avoid skin contact, creating a blanc de noir style. Sourced from volcanic soils on Mt. Etna, it's known for intense minerality, bright acidity, and notes of citrus, stone fruit, and saline, with a texture similar to a light red wine.
