Score 91/100 · Drink 2019-2022, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Oct 2019

I always look forward to tasting this wine because it never fails to offer an unmistakable signature of the white volcanic stones that mark this special territory on the island of Salina. You can smell the sulfur rock and the crushed pumice stone. The 2018 Bianco Pomice is a tight and crisp white wine with loads of salty, mineral flavors. The presentation is simple and streamlined, but the wine is absolutely unique and special no matter what. The wine is a blend of 60% Malvasia delle Lipari (fermented in stainless steel) and 40% Carricante (aged and fermented in oak). Some 15,000 bottles were produced.
