This Etna wine has received good scores from various critics: the 2018 vintage was given a score of 95 by Wine Enthusiast.
Critic tasting note: (2018 vintage) "The nose is a medley of citrus and tart aromas, with undertones of white pepper and flint providing balance. Melon joins lemon, lime, Mandarin orange and grapefruit on the palate, while stonier, more metallic savory notes support those flavors through a long finish. Complete and satisfying." - 95/100, Wine Enthusiast

2018 Vintage
Tasted: Dec 2023
The nose is a medley of citrus and tart aromas, with undertones of white pepper and flint providing balance. Melon joins lemon, lime, Mandarin orange and grapefruit on the palate, while stonier, more metallic savory notes support those flavors through a long finish. Complete and satisfying.
2018 Vintage
Tasted: Nov 2023
When to drink: 2024 to 2030
Eine der langlebigsten Bianchi des Vulkans, zeitlos in seiner noblen Machart: Kristalline Nase, Frucht- und Macchianoten darübergebettet; die krokante Säure perfekt eingearbeitet, schöner Schmelz und Schliff.
2018 Vintage
Tasted: Oct 2023
Medium bright straw yellow colour with bright reflections. On the nose very complex and elegant with aromas of yellow apple and peach, jasmin, lime blossom, light white pepper savouriness and some nutmeg in the background. On the palate very mineral and fresh, straightforward and with good flow, lemon zest on the finish.
2017 Vintage
Tasted: Oct 2022
Strohgelb mit deutlichen grünlichen Reflexen. Das Bouquet ist komplex, breit gefächert und geprägt von Noten weißer Blumen, Ginster, Kamille und intensiven fruchtigen Noten von Apfel, Zeder und Anis. Im Trunk ist er ausgesprochen mineralisch, würzig und mit guter Säure.
2017 Vintage
Tasted: Jun 2022
The nose is a little tight. There are notes of kumquat, fresh white berries and, more slightly, fresh spices combined with a discreet hint of fresh nutmeg. The palate is fruity and reveals juiciness, some pulpiness, nice acidity, tension and elegance as well as finesse in its definition. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/acidic kumquat, lemon small notes of of white flowers combined with a touch of lemon blossom and a discreet hint of apple peel and a very discreet hint of almond.
2016 Vintage
Tasted: Mar 2021
When to drink: 2021 to 2026
Klassischer Ätna-Wein von den Rebbergen der Superiore-Zone in Milo: Verführt mit seiner würzigen Fruchtnase, den Aromen von Zitrusfrüchten und Blüten, umspielt von Pfeffernoten; perfekt ausbalanzierte Textur zwischen salziger Mineralität und punkgenauer Säure, der Abgang ellenlang. Ist seinen Preis wert.
2016 Vintage
Tasted: Nov 2020
Delicate scents evoking Mediterranean scrub and citrus with the barest whiff of kerosene shape the subtle nose. On the linear palate, racy acidity accompanies honey and Meyer lemon before a saline close. Kerin O’Keefe
2015 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2019
Funkelndes helles Strohgelb. Präsentiert sich in der Nase mit Noten nach Salbei und reifem Apfel. Im Ansatz salzig, strömt ruhig dahin, rund und ausgewogen, langer Nachhall.
2015 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2019
The nose reveals notes of hazelnut, chestnut tree and small notes of fresh white fruits associated with a subtle hint of fresh lemon as well as fine hints of leather and racy minerality. The palate is fruity and offers a mineral frame, fullness, freshness as well as a small tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fresh/ripe apple, ripe/fresh brugnon and small notes of fresh/ripe lemon associated with a small touch of fresh/juicy mirabelle as well as hints of hazelnut and leather.
2015 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2019
When to drink: 2019 to 2025
Mineralisch-salzige Nase, auch florale Nuancen; im Mund saftig, die Säure spürbar, einnehmende Aromen von mediterranen Blüten und Aprikosen im eleganten Finish. Zu Seebarsch.
2015 Vintage
Tasted: Dec 2018
Delicate aromas of acacia, white stone fruit and hazelnut lift out of the glass. On the lean but elegant palate, you'll find dried yellow apple slice, citrus, honeyed nut and a mineral note alongside fresh acidity. Drink soon to capture the remaining fruit. Kerin O’Keefe

2012 Vintage
Tasted: Sep 2016
Leuchtendes Graugelb. Eröffnet mit leicht rauchigen Noten, stark nach Feuerstein, leider auch deutliche Holznoten, sollten sich aber noch gut integrieren. Am Gaumen dann überraschend harmonisch und ausgewogen, kompakt, strömt ruhig dahin, salzig, feine frische Frucht, langer Nachhall.
2012 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2016
Initially closed, a few swirls of the glass releases subtle scents suggesting Spanish Broom, linden blossom, flint and a whisper of orange zest. While the palate is less expressive than the nose, it still offers yellow apple, citrus and mineral alongside crisp acidity. It's still very immature and needs additional time to age.
2006 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2015
Spanish broom, dried lychee, aromatic Mediterranean herb and balsamic notes are just some of the aromas of this multifaceted wine. The linear palate shows compelling depth, delivering layers of mature yellow apple, Bartlett pear, thyme, salvia and energizing mineral alongside still-bright acidity. This wine could go on for another several years at least. Drink through 2021.
1994 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2015
At age 20, this fantastic wine proves the serious aging potential of top Etna Biancos. Boasting intriguing depth and complexity, it delivers layers of lemon drop, dried apricot, ginger, dried Mediterranean herb and star anise with an intriguing balsamic note and a mineral-driven finish.
2009 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2015
Intense aromas of Spanish broom, lychee, beeswax, pear and a hint of petrol lead the nose. The multifaceted palate delivers citrus, green apple, stone fruit, mineral and dried herb alongside firm acidity. This compelling wine continuously evolves in the glass.
2010 Vintage
Tasted: Oct 2014
When to drink: 2015 to 2018
Stammt von Carricante-Trauben aus einer Meereshöhe von 950 Metern auf der Ostseite des Vulkans: Duftet nach Orangenblüten und Litschi, Holunder und Äpfeln. Im Mund harmonisch, ausgewogen mit perfekt eingebundener Säure, schöner Schliff. Finessenreicher Begleiter zum Essen.
2010 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2014
This stunning, full-bodied wine is in the running as one of the best white wines in Italy. It's perfumed with acacia flower, Spanish broom, beeswax, flint and tree fruit. The delicious palate delivers green apple, Anjou pear and mineral sensations of mesmerizing depth. It will develop even more complexity over time. Drink through 2025.
2008 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2013
Made with the native Carricante grape, this elegant effort shows a dusty mineral nuance, backed by subtle tones of citrus and stone fruit. It shows structure and acidity that will help it age for more years to come.
2007 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2012
When to drink: 2012 to 2014
Stammt von Carricante-Reben in einer Meereshöhe von 950 Metern: Duftet nach Kräutertee und Litschi, Holunder und Pfirsichen; im Mund harmonisch, ausgewogen, die Säure perfekt eingebunden, voller Eleganz und mineralischer Länge.
2007 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2012
Pietramarina (a pure expression of Carricante) shows light touches of lemon rind and exotic fruit followed by etched mineral notes of crushed granite and brimstone. The finish is tight, fresh and capped by a slightly menthol-like sensation.
2005 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2009
Pietramarina (Carricante grapes grown with the labor-intensive alberello system on Mt. Etna) is a beautiful white wine with well-defined mineral tones, solid structure and focused aromas of peach and almond. It even has a hint of tannin, and this white wine will safely age five or more years.
2004 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2009
Pietramarina is a standout enological achievement from Mount Etna that is particularly good this vintage. The wine is beautifully crisp yet drying in the mouth in the way only a deeply mineral-driven wine can be. It offers delicate aromas of honey, butterscotch and almond paste with lingering notes of white stone and flint.

This is a very good white wine. We were fortunate to sample at the vineyard in Sicily and ordered a case to ship home. It is complex with a slatey, green apple taste. I wonder if the carricante grapes are from old vines as it complexity and mineralty hints at that.
