    The 2019 Etna Bianco Superiore Contrada Villagrande is youthfully coy with a mineral-infused blend of crushed rocks, dusty dried flowers and crushed green apples. This is racy and sleek, with juicy acidity and tart citrus-inflected orchard fruits that give way to a crunchy, nearly salty sensation toward the close. The 2019 tapers off long, structured and full of zesty tension, revealing an herbal thrust and lasting hints of lime through the finish. This gorgeous Etna Bianco may be thrilling to taste today, but it will only get better with further bottle-aging.
