Monteleone Etna Bianco Anthemis 2021

95 points Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Compact and vibrant on the nose, it reveals notes of lemon blossom, wisteria, acacia, jasmine, coriander, broken celery, parsley, vetiver, verbena, wild thyme, and lemongrass. In the background, the greatness of the matrix is revealed through multifaceted and fascinating notes that touch on different nuances. Full-bodied, harmonious, and balanced on the palate, it finishes taut and very long. Best from 2025. (Jul 2023)"

93 points Ian d'Agata (Terroir Sense): "Light golden-tinged straw colour. Pungent pear skin and peach pit aromas are complicated by hints of sweet spices and vanilla. Picks up more spice and floral qualities with air, along with an herbal nuance and a touch of honey. Ripe but pure orchard fruit flavors boast impressive energy and finish long with very good clarity. 100% Carricante from the easter slope of Etna (Sant’Alfio area), vinified in stainless steel and aged in 700 liters oak tonneaux. Only 12.5% alcohol and lots of flavour. Drinking window: 2025-2030. (Apr 2024)"

92 points James Suckling: "Lemon and lime with mineral and spiced pear character. Medium body. Creamy texture and attractive fruit. It’s focused and delicious. Hints of baking spices and fruit at the end. Drink or hold. (9/7/23)"
