Etna DOC Bianco Contrada Monte Gorna 2022 Nicosia

The Etna Bianco of the Contrada Monte Gorna line of Nicosia is born in vineyards located on the western side of Etna.

It is produced with Carricante and Catarratto grapes, carefully picked and selected by hand in the second week of October. After a short cold maceration and static decantation for 48 hours, the must ferments at a controlled temperature for about 15-20 days. Subsequently the wine matures in steel on the fine lees and in acacia tonneaux before being bottled and refined for 3-4 months.

This Etna Bianco is characterized by a bright straw yellow color. The nose opens with intense sensations of apple, enriched by pleasant mineral and hawthorn notes. On the palate it is fresh and mineral, with a characteristic aniseed aftertaste.

Perfect to accompany risotto with shellfish and grilled fish dishes, it is ideal in combination with fried fish and vegetables in batter.
