As an expression of the renowned Etna Bianco denomination, it stands out for its taut and elegant profile, characterised by vibrant freshness and a clear \u003cstrong\u003emineral texture\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet where white flowers, Sicilian citrus fruits such as lemon and orange, apple, and pronounced notes of flint and \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic rock\u003c\/strong\u003e coexist. On the palate, it is savoury and persistent, enriched by hints of hay and aromatic herbs that lead towards a \u003cstrong\u003esaline\u003c\/strong\u003e and vertical finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown on the slopes of the volcano between Milo and Castiglione di Sicilia, at altitudes between 500 and 600 metres. The vineyards, often supported by typical dry-stone walls, sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic soils\u003c\/strong\u003e shaped by the 1879 lava flow. This terrain, composed of black sands and ash, imparts the Carricante with its typical rigour. The vines, trained on trellises in various districts, benefit from the high-altitude climate that enhances the aromatic quality of the fruit, maintaining \u003cstrong\u003elow yields\u003c\/strong\u003e to promote a strong \u003cstrong\u003eterritorial identity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter manual harvesting, vinification begins with a \u003cstrong\u003egentle pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e and static decantation of the must.

Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine rests on the \u003cstrong\u003efine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e for four months, finishing its maturation in the bottle within an underground cellar. This process enhances its natural gastronomic vocation: served chilled, it is ideal for accompanying raw seafood, shellfish, \u003cstrong\u003eseafood risottos\u003c\/strong\u003e and sushi, and also proves excellent with vegetarian dishes and traditional Sicilian couscous.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlta Mora showcases the \u003cstrong\u003epure Carricante\u003c\/strong\u003e cultivated on Mount Etna, on soils shaped by the lava flow of 1879.
