Etna bianco DOC 'Arrigo'

Vinification:

The 2022 Arrigo Etna Bianco DOC is crafted from 100 % Carricante grapes grown on the volcanic slopes of Contrada Arrigo at about 610 m above sea level. The grapes are harvested late in the season to achieve optimal ripeness in this cool, high-altitude site. Fermentation takes place with the aid of selected native yeasts, and the wine is aged for an extended period — roughly 9 months on fine lees with malolactic fermentation in 20 hl wood casks, followed by a further 18 months of bottle ageing before release — allowing for greater integration of aromas, texture and minerality. The volcanic soils, cool diurnal temperature shifts, and careful vinification together produce a white of refined balance and expressive terroir character.
