The vines grow at an altitude of 600 - 800 metres above sea level in the municipalities of Biancavilla and Belpasso at the foot of Mount Etna. After cold pressing of the whole grapes and static clarification, temperature-controlled fermentation between 18 and 20 °C takes place both in 10 hectolitre oak barrels and in stainless steel tanks. One year later, in October, the wine is bottled.
Our tasting note
The wine has a bright lemon yellow colour. The bouquet has aromas of citrus fruits, thyme and refreshing notes of mint and jasmine. Fresh and hearty on the palate with a lively, taut acidity, along with hints of white flowers, some flint, almonds and marzipan. Salty, long lasting finish.
