Description
Country: Italy
Region: Sicily
Grapes: Grape Carricante 90 ; Grape Riesling 10
Tasting Note:
Zesty, characterful white from the volcanic slopes of Etna in
Sicily: a blast of white flowers precedes a mouthful of lemon
zest and green apples, with distinctive minerality thanks to
that soil of ancient lava.
Winemaking:
The grapes are soft pressed intact and not destemmed. The
must is fermented at 15 °C for 20 days. The wine remains
on the lees until February with continuous stirring. Later it is
bottled.
Vineyard :
The vineyards of Sciara Nuova are in the area of the Etna
vulcano. Vines are 850 metres above sea level and trained
with the cordon spur vertical trellis system. Density of
planting is 5000 plants per hectares.
Food matching:
An ideal match for seafood dish; pairs extremely well with
oily fish. Planeta strongly suggested with Tagliolini with
zucchini, capers and mint or wild mixed herb soup.
