Pietradolce | Etna Bianco DOC | 2022 | Vinous | 01/06/2023 | 90 | ||||||
VerbiageThe 2022 Etna Bianco is delicate and floral with a nuanced blend of nectarine and wet stones. It’s soft and enveloping with a pretty inner sweetness up front and zesty acidity that enlivens its core of citrus-tinged apples. This finishes long, staining, yet still fresh, with sour lime and savory spice notes. |

Pietradolce | Sant’Andrea Bianco IGT | 2018 | Vinous | 01/06/2023 | 90 | ||||||
VerbiageThe 2018 Bianco Sant’Andrea wafts up with a honeyed blend of white flowers, Jordan almonds and peach skins. It’s silky and enveloping, yet savory as well, with lime and salty minerals complicating its tart orchard fruits. The 2018 finishes with medium length and gentle tension, ending with lemon oil and young mango suggestions. |
