Terra Costantino, Etna Bianco (Sicily, Italy) “de Aetna” 2024 ($26)

Fabio Costantino has opted to blend a little Cataratto (15%) and Minella (5%) with the Carricante in his organic Etna Bianco. The result is a crisp and clean white with good weight and a mineral-like rather than a fruity focus. There’s plenty going on here, all supported and amplified by a saline-tinged acidity. It has sufficient “oomph” and energy to hold up to seafood bathed in a tomato sauce.
