Murgo Etna Bianco 2023
90 Points, James Suckling
What can you say about Murgo and their unmatched work off the slopes of Mount Etna? Their newly released 2023 Etna Bianco is beautiful – a bright, energetic Carricante and Cataratto blend that gets harvested by hand and aged in stainless steel to preserve all the aromatics and personality that is pent up. Suckling called it “very vibrant profile for this Etna”. If you know Murgo, these are the masterfully produced indigenous whites we love and count on.

“A very vibrant profile for this Etna, showing lemons, chalk and broom flowers. Light-bodied, this has silky texture and a slightly leaner finish. It lacks a bit of concentration but is otherwise crisp and chewy with a citrusy aftertaste. Drink now.”
The Scammacca del Murgo family has a long and storied history rooted in the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. For over a century, they have cultivated olives, fruits, and grapes, producing fine oils and jams. In the 1980s, Baron Emanuele Scammacca del Murgo, after a distinguished diplomatic career, returned to his family’s land to revitalize it. With the help of his eight sons, he transformed the estate into a modern winery.
Today, the family owns three vineyards: San Michele, Gelso Bianco, and La Francescana. Their first bottled Etna Rosso was released in 1982, followed by their first sparkling wine in 1990. The family is committed to sustainable farming practices, aiming to produce wines that truly reflect the unique terroir of Etna while minimizing their environmental impact. Their wines are known for their elegance, complexity, and distinctive volcanic character.
