Description
Etna Bianco Contrada Pietra Marina Ester Canale Rosso by Giovanni Rosso is produced on the northern slope of Mount Etna, in the territory of Castiglione di Sicilia, from Carricante grapes cultivated on volcanic-fluvial soils with sandstone outcrops, at an altitude that enhances freshness and expressive precision.
The vinification process features manual grape harvesting, followed by gentle pressing of whole bunches and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, while maturation takes place on the lees with regular bâtonnage to increase complexity and structure.
On the nose, it is elegant and layered, with notes of white peach and melon intertwined with hints of volcanic rock and citrus zest, while the palate is balanced and vibrant, with a distinct mineral backbone, nuances of chamomile, and a long, airy finish marked by sensations of wet stone and sweet herbs.
It pairs beautifully with citrus-buttered scallops, herb-roasted white meats, refined risottos, shellfish-based dishes, and aged sheep cheeses.
