The Valenti Enrico IV 2024 is an Etna Bianco D.O.C. wine. Made from 100% Carricante grapes (check your Century Club list,) the wine was grown on the volcanic slopes of Sicily's Mount Etna. Alcohol sits at 12.5% abv and it sells, usually, for about $20 or less.
This wine has a greenish gold tint in the glass. The nose offers plenty of minerality, from wet sidewalk to limes. The palate is similarly blessed with savory salinity as well as a racy acidity. Notes of pear, stone fruit and Meyer lemon also appear, but are more subdued. The finish is quite long and tart. Pair with shrimp or crab, or simply enjoy a sip or two. It's a delicious wine.
