Etna Bianco 2017 Graci
Straw yellow with green reflections.
Scents of yellow citrus, lemon and cedar on the nose. Whirling the glass comes white wildflowers, distant echoes of sea, brackish, smells of stones and the oriental sandal.
On the palate the minerality previously intuited effectively constants the substance, and the acidity is vivid and rich. Good however the creaminess. The whole is just slightly unbalanced on hardness. In the retro olfation, the nose receptors come from classical fruit and citrus peel aromas.
