Tasting Notes

This exceptional Etna DOC showcases the authentic character of Sicily. Its modest 12% alcohol content favours freshness and drinkability.

The fruit is sourced from vineyards on volcanic and sandy soils, from a plot of one hectare of sapling vines located at 700 meters above sea level on the north side.
