Oof! This is tasty gear. Love the one-two punch of acidity and the undefinable yet ever-present volcanic minerality in Etna bianco. This is straight Carricante from pre-phylloxera vines grown at about 800 – 900m elevation.
After 4 years the pucker has dissipated and given way to the early buds of complexity. A touch of jasmine, green apple and grapefruit pith. Excellent length and concentration. One of those “I wish I bought more than two bottles” wines.
Will be interesting to see what it looks like with a couple more years under its belt.

Wow you just had something very unique.
Can I ask how much did you pay for it? And where did you drink it?
