Teaming up with local grower Alberto Graci, he skipped the fashionable north slope and headed for the quieter, pistachio-studded south side. There he backed Carricante, Etna's own white grape, in a region where most plantings are red.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards sit between 600 and 800 metres up on volcanic soils around Belpasso and Biancavilla. Belpasso falls just outside the Etna DOC line, so the blend wears a Sicilia DOP label. Don't let that fool you. \u003cem\u003eIdda\u003c\/em\u003e means 'she' in Sicilian dialect, the locals' name for the mountain, and this wine is all about her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 brings lime-tinged nectarine, lemon zest and a smoky, wet-stone minerality, with a silky, textured palate that has real weight without losing its zip. A tart green-apple twang keeps it lively, and it finishes fresh, perfumed and mouthwatering. It's lovely now with grilled fish or a seafood pasta, or you can tuck it away for a few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A savory and minerally wine with bright aromas of lees, citrus, ferns and smoke..
