Tasting note
Expressive and vibrant, with aromas of ripe peach, green apple, lemon zest and white flowers, complemented by hints of Mediterranean herbs. The palate is dry and beautifully textured, balancing juicy stone fruit with refreshing acidity and a distinctive volcanic minerality. A persistent, savoury finish adds elegance and a strong sense of Etna’s unique terroir.
Viticulture
100% Riesling grown organically at approximately 815 metres on Etna’s northern slopes. The vines thrive in black volcanic soils rich in lava sands and minerals. Guyot-trained and cultivated using sustainable practices, they benefit from cool mountain conditions that preserve aromatic intensity and freshness.
Vinification
Hand-selected grapes are harvested in small crates and immediately chilled to 8°C. Following around six hours of skin maceration and gentle pressing, the must ferments in stainless steel at 15-17°C. The wine remains on fine lees for approximately ten months, with regular bâtonnage during the first six months, enhancing texture while preserving freshness.
Food Match
Lively acidity and fruitiness pair perfectly with pure flavours: baked or steamed mackerel or dentex, rice and leafy greens, or raw vegetables. It also shines with ethnic cuisine like sashimi or Mexican quesadillas.
