The 2024 Tenuta delle Terre Nere "Montalto" Etna Bianco is a standout from the southern slopes, where 950-meter altitude perfectly counters its full-noon exposure. Made from 100% Carricante (60–90-year-old vines), it is "voluptuous" yet precise, offering a creamy texture layered with golden apple, Meyer lemon, and wild thyme. Early reviews highlight its 94-point quality, noted for a "clean sweep of salinity" and a zesty, mineral drive that persists through a long finish.
