Description

  • Grapefruit
  • Honey
  • Anise
  • Mineral notes

Straw-yellow colour with brilliant golden highlight. Complex and elegant on the nose with notes of apple, grapefruit, hawthorn and honey. Incredibly fresh taste with mineral notes, along with a peculiar anise finish.

Made from the indigenous Carricante and Catarratto grapes grown on high-elevation slopes of Mount Etna, this unique volcanic wine has a brilliant straw yellow colour and an delicious bouquet reminiscent of apple, grapefruit, hawthorn and honey. It has an incredibly fresh taste characterised by mineral notes and an attractive nutty edge, with a peculiar aniseed finish.

The carefully selected grapes are cold macerated for 24 hours; after destemming, they are pressed softly). The juice is left to ferment at a controlled temperature of 13-15°C for approximately 20-25 days. Aged in stainless steel vats on fine lees, with frequent batonnage, a short ageing in acacia tonneaux and 3-4 months in the bottle.

Food Pairing: shellfish risotto, seafood dishes, fried fish and vegetable tempura.
