Tornatore Etna Bianco Pietrarizzo 2023

Still white wine from Etna, Sicily, 13% ABV, produced by Cantine Tornatore. Blend: Carricante, Catarratto Bianco Comune. 0.75L bottle, 2023 vintage. A wine born from the passion of a family that has been producing wines on Etna, a unique and fascinating area, for over 150 years. The grapes, hand-picked in small crates, are quickly transported to the cellar where they are manually sorted on a conveyor belt. Destemmed and lightly crushed, they are sent to the press where they are gently pressed. The resulting must is cold-clarified and fermented at a temperature of 15-16°C in 50-hl oak barrels. After fermentation, the wine is aged on the fine lees for approximately 5 months. Aged for approximately 5 months in wooden barrels and 3 months in bottle. Intense straw yellow with faint greenish reflections. Pleasant aromas of exotic fruit, especially grapefruit and white peach. On the palate, the wine is characterized by a very pleasant sapidity and freshness complemented by an extraordinary complexity and sweetness of taste.
