Etna DOC Bianco Sant'Esther 2020 Aaron Montis

Etna Bianco Sant'Esther by Aaron Montis is a wine produced entirely from Carricante grapes, coming from bush-trained vineyards located on the eastern slope of Mount Etna, in the territory of Sant'Alfio, in Sicily. These soils, rich in volcanic minerals, give the wine a complex and refined personality, which reflects the uniqueness of the Etna terroir.

The grapes are delicately pressed with soft pressing to preserve the aromatic integrity as much as possible. The fermentation is followed by an aging on the lees for at least six months in French oak and acacia barriques and tonneaux, using new and second and third passage barrels. The aging then continues in steel and finally in the bottle for a minimum of eighteen months, a period during which the wine reaches perfect harmony and stability.

In the glass it presents itself as a vertical and sophisticated wine, in which mineral notes of sulfur and phosphorus stand out, well integrated and never invasive. This minerality combines with a subtle tannic sweetness, which enriches the structure of the wine and enhances its overall elegance, making each sip enveloping and balanced.

Perfect to accompany smoked fish dishes or first courses based on seasonal vegetables, enhancing the complexity of the wine and the delicacy of the flavours.
