ETNA BIANCO "LE SABBIE DELL' ETNA" FIRRIATO 2019
The "Sabbie dell’Etna Bianco" is a wine that is fully part of the history of Firriato. A pioneer label in the enology of the Volcano, it embodies the qualities of Carricante and Catarratto, the two symbolic varieties of Etna viticulture. A completely different terroir from the rest of Sicily, with its cold winters and less intense sunlight. The grapes enjoy a slower ripening and the berries are enriched with their perfumed scents in a more linear way. Freshness and fragrance characterize this wine, together with the persistent sapid line. The White Sands of Etna bewitches with the olfactory and taste suggestions that it brings as a dowry
Produced in the Cavanera Etnea estate of Firriato, one of the most important and well-known Sicilian wineries, it is an assembly of the two main grape varieties of the island: Carricante, a white grape variety symbol of the viticulture of the volcano, and Catarratto, an iconic vine widespread in the whole Sicilian territory, known for its great structure and olfactory power. A winning combination from which a bottle is born that contains within itself the beauty and varietal richness of the Isola del Sole
