Monteleone 2022 Etna Bianco Sicilia

A sleeper of a wine, Monteleone Etna Bianco 2022 is an opulent and brightly expressive 100% Carricante from Etna. Drinking more like entry-level Chassagne Montrachet, this Etna Bianco unfurls over the course of a meal, showing layer after layer of citrus, under-ripe papaya and honeysuckle. No oak!
