Hectic! Been a while since I tried a skin contact that's as bonkers as it is delicious. A hard balance to strike, but they've managed it here. Field blend of most of the whites you can find on Etna, including some where the vines are so old no-one actually knows what the grapes are. Intriguing! This is nutty and salty with a beautiful rounded texture, with honeydew melon aromas jumping around and an endless herbal finish. ABV: 12%
