"The 2018 Etna Bianco Superiore Imbris is smoky on the nose, as wet stones and underbrush give way to sage, grilled mango and almond custard. It's surprisingly juicy and fresh with soft textures and white pit fruits. The close is a bit short but squeaky clean, with a caking of minerality and touches of citrus."
