Press review:
The Wine Advocate: “The Idda 2021 Sicilia Bianco is all Carricante. The wine is generous and medium-bodied in texture with lots of apricot, Golden Delicious apple and quince. It feels supple on the palate, with pretty fruit weight, and there are citrusy aromas to close. What I like best is the richness of the mouthfeel and the long silky sensations that this volcanic white wine imparts. Drink now-2028.” 93 points
JancisRobinson.com: “Straw yellow. Ripe lemon and peach nose with top notes of gooseberries and a hint of flint and garden herbs. Citric peach with garden-herb notes, lemon and very ripe gooseberry. Very long and with focused, ripe acidity like a squeeze of lemon on the finish. (WS). Drink now-2028.” 17 points
