Gaja - Idda Sicilia Bianco 2022 (750ml)
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2022 Bianco pleases on many levels wafting up with an unexpected fruit richness combining young peach and apricot with white flowers and almond paste. It's round and soothing yet with a stunning mix of candied lime and saline minerals up front that adds contrast. Sweet inner florals complement ripe pit fruits. The 2022 cleans up beautifully long and with a salty flair as it tapers off crunchy full of tension yet mouth-watering all the same. - By Eric Guido on June 2023
vDecanter: 92 Points
Sourced from vines in Biancavilla on Etna's southwest slope between 700-800m and in Belpasso on the southern slope between 600-700m IDDA Bianco is vinified and aged in a combination of stainless steel and 10hl barrels it has a fine smoky flinty nose with wafts of peach mango and white flowers. In the mouth it's intense and vertical with juicy sapidity and great acidity defining its edges. Subtly textured and zingy there's peach citrus peel honey lime juice and white flowers to be found ending with a gentle stoniness. (Drink between 2023-2030)
