Tenuta di Fessina · Erse Etna Bianco · 2025
Named for Erse, the Greek goddess of morning dew, this Etna Bianco comes from Tenuta di Fessina on Sicily’s volcanic Mount Etna. Carricante is the grape at the heart of the wine, and the estate’s earlier listing describes Erse as a mineral-driven expression of its high-altitude setting. This bottle is listed as the 2025 vintage; tasting notes and scores below from the earlier listing belong to 2024, not this vintage.
For the 2025 bottle, try pairing Etna Bianco with grilled fish, seafood pasta or fresh cheeses. These are serving suggestions, not a tasting assessment of the new vintage.
Vintage Review · 2025 Rating
The nose gleams with aromas of lemon, lime, crushed sea shells and new sneakers. On the palate, mixed tart and sweet citrus elements are joined by Anjou pears and toasted almonds. A wine that is bright, light and refreshing, but still substantial.
