2022 Etna Bianco Superiore
2022 Etna Bianco Superiore
2022 Etna Bianco Superiore
Sourced from vineyards in Contrada Salice at 600 m.a.s.l., on lava stone terraces facing the sea, this classic Etna Bianco is a blend of 90% Carricante and 10% Cataratto. The grapes are harvested in early October and undergo a soft pressing in stainless steel on the lees. It continues to age in stainless vats then transferred to bottles to rest for 8 months. The micro climate is well suited to develop brilliant white wines of both elegance and power!
