Aedes Etna Bianco is a refreshing dry white wine and a great entry to the native Carricante grape. This wine is bright golden yellow and unveils a lively bouquet of floral and citrus notes that gracefully extend to the palate, complemented by invigorating acidity and subtle mineral undertones.
The organically farmed vineyard for Aedes Etna Bianco is located at 650 metres altitude, in Contrada Muganazzi, on the northern slopes of Mount Etna. This vineyard comprises sandy and volcanic soils that are very rich in minerals. The grapes were hand harvested, selected and brought to the winery where whole clusters were soft-crushed. Fermentation took place in stainless steel vats and the wine was then aged for 6 months in steel vats before being bottled and rested for 2 months.
