This Etna Bianco DOC is a Sicilian wine that stands out thanks to its very intense aromatic profile, which releases power and finesse in harmony with balsamic hints and minerality.
It presents itself to the eye with a straw yellow color with a greenish reflection, presenting a bouquet where the mineral notes and balsamic notes stand out on hints of white flowers, cedar and lemon.
In the mouth it is very lively, savory and vibrant, with pleasant fruity and floral hints that make it full-bodied and elegant on the finish.
