Etna's unique Carricante grape makes excellent sparkling wine, and this brilliant example from Planeta has delicious notes of rising bread dough, green apple, lemon zest, blanched almond and honey. High-altitude vineyards with volcanic ash soil, as well as Carricante's distinctive character give the wine a crisp, refreshing bite, surrounded by more generous fruit notes, a twist of bitterness and a long, classy finish. Superb.

91/100 - This is vivid and nicely filled with fruit, offering fresh pears, sliced lemons and hints of citrus blossoms and minerals. Crunchy and zesty on the sleek, medium-bodied palate. Focused and balanced.
