Wine Expert Note:

Firriato Le Sabbie dell'Etna Bianco captivates with its pale straw yellow color and greenish reflections, offering an inviting preview of its freshness. The nose is a complex bouquet of white flowers, green apple, pear, and citrus zest, with intriguing volcanic hints and a mineral complexity that speaks to its origin. On the palate, it is wonderfully balanced, with a crisp acidity that enhances the wine's fruitiness and leads to a mineral-driven finish that is both long and refreshing.
