"The 2025 Etna Bianco is sweetly floral, with chamomile and almond paste scents complementing pretty white peach and mint. The palate counterbalances crunchy mineral tones with a pretty inner sweetness and crisp orchard fruits over a core of stimulating acidity. The fresh finish leaves a candied lemon resonance and a saline saturation."

"Made with organically farmed Carricante from Calderara Sottana, the Bella-Colonna 2025 Etna Bianco offers greater richness, depth and intensity. The winemaking follows the same approach used at Terre Nere, although this wine is bottled in April, whereas the Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Bianco Calderara Sottana remains on the lees until the end of July. Sweet citrus and stone fruit envelop the palate, giving the wine a deep, generous character."
