Zesty, characterful white from the volcanic slopes of Etna in Sicily: a blast of white flowers precedes a mouthful of lemon zest and green apples, with distinctive mineral character suggested by soil derived from the basalt bedrock.

Press Review
94/100 - Boasting a fun new label design with menacing volcanic smoke featured in relief on a Riesling bottle, the organic Planeta 2021 Sicilia Carricante Eruzione 1614 is fresh, tonic and thoroughly refreshening. This unoaked wine offers medium-plus weight with a great sense of balance and firmness. Its aromas recall citrus fruit, green apple and crushed stone. With more bottle age, we can expect this wine to embrace tertiary tones of petroleum jelly and flint. Fruit comes from terraced vineyards on the slopes of Etna with sandy lava soils at 815 to 860 meters above sea level. Drink 2024-2030
