This distinctive wine from Sicily embodies traditional Italian winemaking heritage. At 13% alcohol, it presents a well-balanced and harmonious profile. Crafted from Malvasia delle Lipari 60%, Carricante 30%, other white grapes 10%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. Expect crisp citrus and orchard fruit aromas framed by a clean, mineral finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards manual harvesting, on sandy volcanic soil. Vinification: pressing. Static decantation. Spontaneous fermentation in steel (Malvasia) and 3rd/4th passage barriques (Carricante) with batonage. The wine is aged 6 months on the lees in oak barrels and then in bottles. A wine showing the island's unique volcanic terroir and Mediterranean influence.
Volcanic soils around Mount Etna impart a distinctive mineral character found across many Sicilian wines.
