Maugeri Etna Bianco Superiore Frontebosco DOC 2022
Maugeri Etna Bianco Superiore Frontebosco DOC 2022
From single field at 700m above sea level, with southern exposure in front of the forest in Contrada Volpare - Milo
Sandy volcanic soil rich in organic matter and minerals.
The Carricante grapes are harvested in mid-October and have then immediately undergone a process of cryomaceration for six hours and then direct pressing.
The must is clarified at a low temperature and fermented and stored on the lees, then distributed with 10% in steel tanks and 90% in French oak barrels for 8 months.
The scent is super mineral with notes of both peach, green melon and sage.
The taste is wonderfully complex with minerality and fruit. A really nice creamy and silky texture. Both citrus, green apples and pears. A crazy long and beautiful aftertaste.
A wine that brings to mind the great premier cru Burgundian white wines! It is super elegant!
