Straw yellow color. On the nose it expresses itself with hints of citrus fruits, notes of white flowers, with notes of menthol and salinity. The first sip will be intense with a sense of power that lingers to a delicate mineral finish. Fruit is backed by sea spray and italian herbs. Organic viticulture produced by a young female winemaker. An Etna Bianco that overdelivers for its price!

Sustainable farming and organic practices are employed, including integrated pest management and composting. Towards organic certification. We are able to manage a great part ofthe under-vine areas using green manure crops. The final aim is to maintain and build organic matter in the soil. We chose legume green manure crops because of their important source of nitrogen. The harvest starts at the end of September with the white grapes’ picking. All the grapes are put in small baskets and carried immediately to the cellar where are left in the refrigerated room 24 to 36 hours before starting the vinification process.
Gentle pressing to extract the highest quality juice. Temperature-controlled fermentation in steel vats.
Aged on yeast for 6 months before bottling.

The 2023 vintage on Etna was a textbook example of a "less is more" vintage. The extreme weather conditions challenged producers, and those with meticulous vineyard management and a deep understanding of their terroir were able to navigate the difficulties. The result is a vintage characterized by low yields but high-quality wines that are pure expressions of the Etna volcano
