About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie in the village of Solicchiata, at elevations of up to 750 m. Sand and hardened lava soils combine with the cool conditions of Etna’s northern slopes.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in October. Whole bunches are gently pressed and fermented in stainless-steel tanks for 15–20 days.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees for five months.

Tasting profile

Bright, balanced and fresh, with a light, easy-drinking style and pronounced minerality. Herbal and citrus aromas lead to a lively, juicy palate lifted by refreshing acidity.

Serving and pairing

Suitable with appetizers.
