Il Cantante Cantante Bianco 2004
This is created from vines grown ad alberello supported by a stake made of chestnut wood. The vines grow alongside each other, a metre apart, perched along magnificent lavic stone terraces on Europe’s highest active volcano - Etna. These vines send their roots down into the volcanic soil generated from the lavic rock which, for millennia now, has been rising to the surface to cause spectacular volcanic eruptions covering the whole of mountain.

Colour

Pale yellow-lime green.

Bouquet

Fruity with hints of apple, aniseed and bitter almond. As it matures it also develops subtle notes of acacia honey.

Flavour

Dry, harmonious, nicely structured, properly.
