Etna Bianco DOC 2023 Monteleone

This wine comes from the slopes of Etna and is produced by the Monteleone winery, located in Castiglione di Sicilia, in the province of Catania. The grapes come from the east side of Etna, grown in the municipalities of Milo and Sant'Alfio, between 700 and 900 meters above sea level

The wine is made exclusively from Carricante grapes which are first of all de-stemmed and delicately pressed. After 48 hours of decanting, they are vinified in steel vats at a controlled temperature. The ageing on the lees lasts 6 months, with weekly bâtonnage.

Straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections, the wine reveals floral aromas of elderflower and broom to the nose. On the palate it is balanced, fresh and savoury.

This Etna Bianco goes very well with fried fish and roasted swordfish steak.
