Planeta Etna Bianco

Description

The Carricante grapes on Etna always produce great satisfaction because the marriage between the black sand and the altitude provide structured aromas and three dimensional flavors. In this vintage, there are notes of white acacia flowers, fresh almonds and mountain peaches on the nose; on the palate juicy and full with notes of yellow plums and prickly pears. The history of Etna is studded with the historic eruptions which have shaped it. The eruption of 1614 lasted ten years and is the longest ever recorded, halted right on the border of the vineyards of Sciaranuova. The vineyard is perfectly positioned and soils are black with lava sands of extraordinarily rich minerals, surrounded by woods and more recent lava flows.
