Do you know if more recent vintages may be more balanced, in particular regarding the oak treatment?
Cheers,

Where? There was some brief buzz a while back, but it sure died away without much of an impact.

I should add that the whites are often overlooked. The Pietramarina from Benanti, all Carricante, is one of Italy's fines white wines, and one of its most ageworthy. I drank the '07 recently and it was extraordinary.

Oliver McCrum wrote:All of the grapes for Pietra Marina come from eastern Etna, near the village of Milo, which is the only place where you can grow Etna Bianco Superiore, and none of them come from the 'contrada' called Pietramarina. Sort of confusing, but the wine is so good, I'm not worried about it.
