About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit is grown organically on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, at around 600 m above sea level. Mineral-rich volcanic soils, a cool alpine climate and abundant sunshine contribute freshness, precision and structure.

Vinification

The grapes are slowly pressed without destemming. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks without selected yeasts, with minimal intervention.

Ageing

The wine rests on its fine lees in concrete tanks for around six months, developing delicate texture and depth.

Tasting profile

Fresh, precise and structured, with delicate texture, depth and subtle Sicilian elegance.

Serving and pairing

Pair with shellfish, fish, vegetables or fresh, unaged cheeses.
