Benanti Pietra Marina Bianco Superorie 2020Critical acclaim: "96 points. Looking at the last ten seasons in Etna, 2020 falls into the category of a fresh vintage, as did 2016. The 2020 Etna Bianco Superiore Pietra Marina is bright, with notes of saline, fresh pineapple, lemon oil, and petrol. The palate is vertical and exhibits a lot of tension, with a medium bodied frame, refreshing acidity, and a focused finish." Jeb Dunnuck
