Description
A still white wine from Mount Etna, Sicily, 13% ABV, produced by Pietradolce. 100% Carricante, 0.75L bottle. An Etna Bianco that celebrates the elegance of Carricante, a native grape variety that finds its maximum expression in the volcanic terroir. It opens with delicate floral nuances of white rose, lily of the valley, and jasmine, paired with hints of pineapple and Sicilian citron, lifted by echoes of iodine. The palate is soft, driven by a gentle, fresh-savory verve that provides balance. The finish is a blend of savory and citrusy notes, a wine that tells the story of a unique terroir.

The earth is the starting point to which we always return. Every year, the life cycle of our vineyards begins with spring and ends with the harvest: a virtuous circle that has always been repeated, following the same gestures of the past. We are one with our land: the Pietradolce vineyards stand out against the volcano, in perfect symbiosis with the broom, birches and lava stones. Read more
