One thing they talked about was their new project on Mount Etna, which has some really interesting terroirs. At this stage, no wine had been made, but now they&#8217;ve released their first Etna white. It&#8217;s from the Carricante grape variety, and it&#8217;s full of interest. It&#8217;s not a hedonistic wine, but instead is taut and really mineral. I really like it, and I think it will age well. Etna seems to be producing a lot of interesting wine of late. I suspect this wine won&#8217;t yet have any stockists, but I&#8217;ll let you know when it does.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Planeta Carricante 2009 IGT Sicilia<br \/>\n<\/strong>From Planeta\u2019s new Sciara Nuova vineyard on Mount Etna; first release; 13% alcohol. Fresh, nutty and citrussy with high acidity. Very mineral with subtle herb and wax notes as well as taut, pithy, citrus fruit. The predominant flavour is that of the somewhat indefinable descriptor \u2018mineral\u2019. A lovely taut, lean white wine. 91\/100<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/italy\/mountetna.htm\" target=\"_blank\">write up on Mount Etna wines here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost two years ago I visited Sicilian producer Planeta.
