Maugeri Etna Bianco Superiore DOC 2022

Carricante grapes from Etna's eastern slope - Contrada Volpare - Milo at 700m above sea level.

Sandy volcanic soil rich in both organic matter and minerals. Grows on small terraces surrounded by old lava stones.

Harvested in mid-October and has immediately undergone a process of cryomaceration for three hours and then direct pressing.

The must is then clarified at a low temperature. Fermented and aged on lees for 8 months. 90% in steel and 10% in French oak barrels.

Minimal use of sulfur and copper.

The scent is tonic and citrus with a hint of mint and camomile.

The taste is deliciously mineral, really creamy and silky in texture. The finest fruit and a hint of almond nicely wrapped in fresh acidity. The aftertaste offers delicious saltiness and continues for a long time!

The fine acidity is clearly a good indicator that this is a wine with a long life.
