The 2006 Etna Bianco Superiore Pietramarina impresses for its drive and focus. This is a decidedly more mineral driven style than the 2007 tasted alongside it. Ash, smoke and minerals add complexity and focus to the bright citrus fruit. The 2006 appears to be at least another year or two away from revealing the full breadth of its potential. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.
This is a solid set of wines from Benanti, although there are fewer thrilling wines this year than is often the case.
