Staff Pick Notes

Hailing from the eastern slopes of Milo, at the heart of Mount Etna and an elevation of 800 meters. Alfio Cosentino now leads his family estate which has produced wine through the past 3 generations. Alfio Cosentino is also the current mayor of Milo. The Carricante vineyard for this Etna Bianco Superiore were planted in the late 1800’s making these some of the oldest producing vines on Mount Etna. With a vibrant straw yellow in the glass, this wine immediately grabbed my attention. Powerful hints of ripe yellow fruit, like papaya and mango balance with a refined herbal notes like fresh cut grass and thyme. The sip is long and luxurious due to the extended maceration on the skins. Fresh and savory, with good persistence and a long finish. What more could you wish for in Etna Bianco.
