What are the characteristics of this white wine?
The particular conditions of the land and the microclimate of Etna considerably influence its sensory characteristics. The greater acidity of the caricante grapes is balanced by the union with the catarratto, at the same time bringing a remarkable sensorial complexity. The collection is done manually in boxes.
