Etna DOC Fondo Filara Etna Bianco 2016 Nicosia

The Etna Bianco of the Fondo Filara line of Nicosia was 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 settling for 48 hours, the must ferments at controlled temperature for about 15-20 days. Subsequently the wine ages in steel on the fine lees and in acacia tonneaux before being bottled and aged for 3-4 months.

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

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