Tasting Notes: A label of Mount Etna’s pioneering oenology, Firriato’s Etna Bianco combines the qualities of Carricante and Catarratto—two vines that are symbolic of Etna’s viticultural tradition. The terroir is completely different from the rest of Sicily, with cold winters and less intense sunlight. The grapes here have slower ripening times and take on their fragrant aromas in a more linear way. Freshness and fragrance distinguish this wine together with its persistent tangy taste. This results in unique white flower minerality from the Carricante and bright tropical fruit notes and structure from the Cataratto!
