Very savory on the nose with broom bush, peat and lemon pulp. Medium- to-full bodied, this has firm, crisp acidity and spicy minerality merged with citrus fruits. Polished finish. Drinkable now, but there’s potential for evolution here.

Vinous

The 2021 Etna Bianco Gamma opens with a savory bouquet of crushed green apples, minty herbs and crushed rocks. This is racy and sleek, with saline tones up front and tart orchard fruits that cascade throughout. Hints of sour citrus resonate as the 2021 tapers off long and youthfully tense, leaving a pleasantly bitter sensation and a caking of chalky minerals.

Notes

The "Gamma" Etna Bianco from Federico Curtaz is a vibrant and mineral-driven expression of the Carricante grape, grown on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. Curtaz, whose deep experience includes working alongside the legendary Angelo Gaja in Piedmont, brings the same meticulous vineyard management and terroir-driven focus to his Etna wines. The result is a white wine that combines the fresh, crisp character of the Etna terroir with the elegance and balance Curtaz honed during his time with Gaja. The Federico Curtaz "Gamma" Etna Bianco is a beautifully balanced white that showcases the unique volcanic terroir of Mount Etna. With his extensive experience working with Angelo Gaja, Curtaz has crafted a wine of precision and elegance, reflecting both the power of the land and the finesse of his winemaking philosophy. Ideal for enjoying now or for aging, this is a must-try for lovers of complex Italian whites.
