From the winery:

The Barbazzale Bianco is composed of predominantly Catarratto, the most typical, and widely planted, white grape variety in Sicily. As is characteristic of Catarratto wines, Barbazzale Bianco exhibits a pleasant freshness with delicate floral perfumes of wisteria and Scotch broom on a saline backdrop. Barbazzale is the name of the “contrada,” or wine district, in which the grapes are planted in the volcanic soil of Mt. Etna, lending a remarkable minerality to the wine.

This vintage also managed to clutch 91 points from Suckling, who said"

This has aromas of lime pith, white grapefruit, dried herb and white tea. Some salty hints, too. It's medium-bodied with bright acidity and a compact, textured palate. Firm and focused catarratto. Drink now.
