What kind of wine is Etna Bianco DOC 'Vulkà' 2024 - Nicosia?
Etna Bianco DOC 'Vulkà' 2024 - Nicosia originates from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, where the indigenous grape varieties Carricante and Catarratto express all the mineral power of the Sicilian territory. It is a fresh and fragrant white wine, with a balanced and lively character, designed for those looking for a bottle that tells the essence of the volcano: sapidity, elegance, and profound minerality.Vintage Details
The 2024 vintage on Etna was characterized by a regular climatic trend, with mild springs and a summer that was not excessively hot. The temperature excursions between day and night favored a balanced ripening of the grapes, preserving their aromatic freshness and allowing for berries rich in aromas and natural acidity.Winemaking and Aging
After careful harvesting, the grapes are vinified separately. Fermentation takes place for about 20-25 days at a controlled temperature between 15 and 18 °C, to preserve the varietal aromas. This is followed by a period of aging in stainless steel on the fine lees (the solid residues from fermentation that add body and complexity), before bottling. No wood aging: this Etna Bianco focuses on authenticity and aromatic purity.Tasting Notes
