Pietro Caciorgna Mt. Etna Bianco Guardoilvento

Pietro Caciorgna Etna Bianco “Guardoilvento” 2023 is a striking expression of Carricante, grown high on Mt. Etna’s mineral‑rich volcanic slopes and vinified with care for clarity and personality. The name—meaning “watching the wind”—captures the albarello‑trained vines’ daily dance with Etna’s breezes.

Bright straw‑yellow in colour, it opens with lifted aromas of citrus zest and cedar, alongside yellow florals and a hint of wild herbs and flint. On the palate it hits with energetic freshness: crunchy lemon and grapefruit framed by a vibrant acidity, a saline‑mineral backbone, and a subtle creamy texture from 7–8 months maturation in second‑passage French barriques.
