  Benanti Pietramarina Masterclass. Orchid, mineral, lemon, verbena, savoury. Medium plus flavour intensity, medium plus finish.

  Really spectacular. Rich and full but still speaking of the sea. You taste the oyster shell - but at this pint in the wine’s evolution it’s more like an oyster shell broth if that makes sense.
  Wish I had more. I’ve got to believe this is at or near it’s peak. Gorgeous stuff.

  Once again this delivers a consistent experience. Very good Etna Bianco with enough body and character to pair well with both linguine vongole and chicken Milanese.

  Nose of sea shells, marine, slight lactic with oxidized nutty notes. Rich, creamy nicely textured mouth. Excellent length on the salty, savory finish. Complex and interesting wine. Reminds me of mature Chablis.
  
  P.S. As it warmed it gained a peppery spiciness in both the nose and the mouth.

  Yellow gold. Good clarity. There is a herbal almost licorice / fennel note on the nose. On the palate this continues with mineral notes. The fruit is lemon citrus with the underlying complexity of fennel. Complex and savoury. Really very good length.
