A breakout star in the Etna DOC of Sicily, Tornatore has become one of the region's largest and most respected wineries. Established back in 1865, the estate continues to be run by the same family who have acted as the faithful custodians of the land for generations. Tending to high altitude vineyards on the north side of the active volcano, the conditions are ideal for indigenous grape varieties to thrive. The wines are distinctive bottlings which encapsulate the essence of Mount Etna and effortlessly reveal the unique characteristics that make the region one to watch.

The Zotorinotto Etna Bianco offers whiffs of creamy vanilla, yellow apple, and peach notes, followed by billowing aromas of honey and ginestra flowers - a local plant that thrives in the open landscapes surrounding Mount Etna. Its crunchy fruits and tangy citrus flavours are carried by mineral-laden acidity and a soft, mellow texture, imparted from time spent aging on the lees. The persistent finish highlights this wine's sophisticated and lasting character.

This will be an excellent compliment to tzatziki fish tacos and other seafood fare.

There is a lot of elegance here, with fresh and candied cedro, macis, green apple and floral depth. Zesty tension on the palate with enough texture to provide good balance, turning slightly tighter on the finish. Carricante. Sustainable.
