From Firriato's Cavanera Etnea estate in Contrada Verzella, Castiglione di Sicilia, on Etna's north slope, this unoaked, lees-aged blend of Carricante and Catarratto shows great balance and harmony. Green fruit, lemon and flint aromas lead to a soft-textured palate with good acidity. Mineral and lemony, it has some juicy underlying stone fruits and a long finish of apricot skin and bitter herbs. ... More details

An excellent Etna Bianco here with very subtle spice, cream and smokiness to the mineral and zesty citrus fruit. Almost a bit sulfurous with a volcanic character that is typical to Etna. Pretty full-bodied on the palate with a saline twist to the mid-palate and finish. Transparent and tactile. Drink now.
Winery
Aromas of yellow wild flowers, acacia honey, and yellow apple are offset by savory dried herbs. The palate is gentle yet unrelenting - full-bodied and a strong representation of volcanic terroir.

Region: Sicily

For thousands of years, Sicily has been producing high quality wines of several different styles which are consistently enjoyed all over the world. The ancient Greeks may have been the first to recognize how perfect this island was for viticulture, but today a huge area of Sicily is covered in vineyards growing plenty of different grape varietals and resulting in some of Italy's finest wines. This unique wine region produces a considerable percentage of Italy's overall wines, and it isn't difficult to see how wineries have flourished on the island. With beautiful year-round sunshine, cooling sea breezes helping the grapes reach full ripeness, along with the highly fertile volcanic soil which is typical of Sicily, it should come as no surprise this is one of Europe's oldest and most productive wine regions.

Country: Italy

It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
