Palmento Costanzo - 2024 - Mofete Etna Bianco - 750 ml.

Subregion: Côte de Beaune

Palmento Costanzo Mofete Etna Bianco is a refined white from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, specifically Contrada Santo Spirito in Passopisciaro. Made from a dominant Carricante component (70%) with 30% Catarratto, this Etna Bianco DOC shows a medium straw yellow color and a fragrant bouquet that balances bright citrus notes with clear mineral character and hints of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate it is vibrant and fresh, delivering an agile, sapid profile with a saline finish that speaks to the volcanic soils and coastal influence of eastern Sicily. The wine’s tension and lift make it particularly well-suited to seafood—shellfish, grilled white fish, seafood pasta—as well as lighter cheeses and green salads. The Mofete bottling represents a focused expression of place: the higher-acidity Carricante provides structure and citrus drive, while Catarratto contributes rounder fruit and Mediterranean floral tones. Drink this wine on its own as a bright aperitif or pair it with simply prepared seafood to let the saline minerality and herbal lift shine. With solid critical scores from independent reviewers and an identity rooted in Etna’s unique terroir, Palmento Costanzo’s Mofete Etna Bianco is a thoughtful selection for collectors and seafood-forward dinners alike. Expect freshness, clarity and a long, saline finish that keeps the wine lively through the last sip.
