From the eastern side of the volcano in Sant'Alfio at 900 meters in elevation, the Monteleone 2022 Etna Bianco Anthemis (with 3,500 bottles produced) is a creamy, mid-weight white. It offers soft aromas of orchard fruit, honey and lemony pastry filling. That texture comes from 11 months of lees aging in oak. Happily, however, the wine is never too heavy. It shows zesty energy thanks to bright acidity and drying mineral notes on the long finish. Anthemis has hints of Burgundy in an otherwise heavily Etna-focused white.
