Etna Bianco Contrada Carranco

A special area of the estate, in “Contrada Carranco” where we have selected a vineyard to be produced individually. The even more suitable area of the district, in the northernmost plot, in the middle of the basalt rocks. Bush training vines planted on small terraces.

The bunches of carricante are destemmed and pressed. A cold static decantation follows before starting a partial fermentation in steel tanks. After 3 days the wine is transferred to 225 liter oak barrels to complete the fermentation. Aging follows in “smoked” toasted French oak barrels for 8/12 months. Straw yellow, citrus and ginger on the nose. Minerality and pleasant acidity that gives crunchiness.
