The Tornatore 2022 Etna Bianco Zottorinotto, made with 100% Carricante that undergoes eight months of aging in acacia wood barrel, shows a silky, mid-weight texture. Fruit is harvested from a site located at a cool 700 meters above sea level. This wine opens to a slightly more saturated appearance with golden highlights. It wraps over the palate with silky intensity thanks to the natural richness of the fruit. Drink date: [Now]-2030. Score - 92. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, April 17, 2025)

This provides a beautiful, bright aromatic display with lifted cranberry, botanicals, nutmeg and other spices. It is medium weight, intense and juicy with fresh acidity, warmth and all round great energy. Tannins are modest but firm but in a constructive way. The length is excellent. Best now to 2028. It is 100% nerello mascalese from a single basaltic vineyard at 700 metres on the north slope of Mt. Etna. Tasted October 2024 then again at the winery in December 2024. Score - 93.

Also a pale yellow hue, the 2023 Etna Bianco Pietrarizzo leaps from the glass with fresh Mediterranean character in its notes of fresh sage, fresh peach, flinty stones, and saline. Medium to full-bodied, it has a rounded texture, with a salty and savory crystalline nature ... Drink 2025-2035. Score - 92. (jebdunnuck.com, Oct. 16, 2025)

Tornatore is one of the larger wineries among dozens on the north slope of Mt. Etna. Made from the local carricante grape, this is a hefty yet streamlined white with a complex and well integrated nose of almost tropical guava and olive overlaid with the flinty/smoky aromas of Etna's volcanic soils. Almost peppery as well. It is a full bodied fairly dense and serious white with girth and length. Really solid and well balanced with excellent length. Tasted March 2024. Score - 91.
