Tasting Notes

A fine example of Sicily winemaking, this Etna DOC reflects generations of local expertise. At 13% alcohol, it presents a well-balanced and harmonious profile. Crafted from Carricante 80% and Catarratto 20%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. The palate is fresh and precise, with lively acidity carrying through to the finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards on volcanic sands at between 650 and 750 mt a.s.l. Vinification: 3 weeks in steel tanks at controlled temperature. The wine is aged in steel tanks and tonneau. A wine capturing Sicily's sun-soaked character and ancient viticultural roots.
