Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from Firriato’s only vineyard near Mount Etna, Cavanera Etnea. Its well-drained volcanic soils consist of black clay and sand and are rich in minerals. The site’s microclimate and mineral-rich soils shape the wine’s aromatic and flavour profile.
Vinification
The grapes were harvested by hand from late September to early October. Vinification and malolactic fermentation take place in wooden vats.
Ageing
The wine matures for one year in Hungarian oak barrels.
Tasting profile
Complex and elegant on the nose and palate, with numerous mineral nuances.
Vintage notes
In 2014, conditions were ideal, with summer temperatures consistently below the seasonal average.
