Wine Spectator
Reviewed February 2026Creamy and layered, with a clean sweep of salinity framing flavors of golden apple, yellow plum, green almond and preserved lemon, plus fragrant hints of broom and wild thyme. Expands nicely on the palate but shows good tension and zesty drive through the racy finish. Drink now through 2040. 580 cases made, 500 cases imported.

From vines on the southern slope (higher up, cooler). This is vertical and precise, with a piercing citrus nerve.
Notes
The 2024 Tenuta delle Terre Nere "Montalto" Etna Bianco is a standout from the southern slopes, where 950-meter altitude perfectly counters its full-noon exposure. Made from 100% Carricante (60–90-year-old vines), it is "voluptuous" yet precise, offering a creamy texture layered with golden apple, Meyer lemon, and wild thyme. Early reviews highlight its 94-point quality, noted for a "clean sweep of salinity" and a zesty, mineral drive that persists through a long finish.
