Pietradolce, Archineri Carricante, Etna, Sicily, Italy 2016 93

£ 27 Armit Wines

Located at 850m on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna, a vineyard of 100- to 120-year- old, pre-phylloxera Carricante vines give precise, stony, mineral flavours from volcanic soils, freshened by intense diurnal temperature swings. Lees-stirring and ageing in bottle has added to the classy, refined and ageworthy style. Drink 2018-2026 Alc 13.5%
