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

Sicily has been an important wine region for thousands of years, with the ancient Greek settlers being among the first to discover its remarkable aptitude for viticulture. It isn't difficult to understand why they were impressed, and nor is it hard to understand why the island's wine industry continues to boom to this day. The climate on Sicily is ideal for wine production – sunshine beating down on the vineyards almost all year round, and a highly fertile volcanic soil produced from such magnificent peaks as Mount Etna. Sicily's vineyards are mostly used for the production of sweet dessert wines and fortified wines, such as the famous wine of Marsala, but the variety found across the island is impressive, and results in a great range of dry white and red wines packed full of exciting fruit flavors.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
