Maugeri Etna Bianco Superiore Contrada Volpare 2024

Maugeri’s Etna Bianco Superiore “Contrada Volpare” 2024 is a Carricante from the village of Milo—the only zone on Etna allowed to label Bianco “Superiore.” It pours pale and luminous, opening with lemon rind, pear blossom and a whiff of sea spray over cool ash and wet stone. The palate is precise and saline, its citrus and yellow-pitted fruit framed by nervy, mouth-watering acidity and a fine, volcanic dusting that trails into a long, savory finish. A benchmark, mineral-driven Etna white that shines now with crudo and shellfish, yet has the backbone to evolve gracefully for 5–7 years.
