Etna Bianco

There are many good white wines from Sicily and wines grown on the volcano Etna I have not tried many of.  Tenute Delle Terre Nere is a producer with wine yards located on the northern slope of the volcano. They produce two kinds of white wines. One from a blend of Carricante, Catarratto, Grecianico and Minella. The other, from Carricante alone, is fermented in barrels. The one I have drank is the blend which contains approximately 65% Carricante. The vintage is 2014 and this is a good wine. The taste is of citrus, minerals and peaches. It has a strong acidity and I think that it can be stored for a couple of years if needed.
