    Description of Etna Blanc DOC "Palmento Caselle"

    Estate

    I Vigneri is a Sicilian estate known for its respectful approach to nature and commitment to showcasing indigenous Sicilian grape varieties. The estate combines tradition and modernity to create wines that truly express the unique terroir of the Etna region.

    Vineyard

    The vineyard is situated on the slopes of Mount Etna, an iconic active volcano in Sicily. The volcanic soils rich in minerals give the grapes a distinctive character and remarkable freshness. The Mediterranean climate, tempered by altitude, is ideal for growing the Carricante grape variety.

    Wine

    The Etna DOC I Vigneri 2019 is a white wine made exclusively from the Carricante grape, emblematic of the region. It stands out for its aromatic purity, vibrant freshness, and pronounced mineral expression, reflecting the exceptional volcanic terroir.

    Vintage

    The 2019 vintage enjoyed favorable climatic conditions, with a warm summer moderated by cool nights. This allowed an interesting balance between ripeness and freshness, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and elegant.

    Vinification & Aging

    Vinification is carefully managed to preserve the freshness and typicity of the Carricante grape. Aging takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to maintain fruity aromas and liveliness, without the use of oak that might mask the wine’s subtleties.

    Characteristics & Tasting

    Tasting

    • Appearance: Pale yellow with green reflections, highlighting its youth and vivacity.
    • Nose: Intense and fresh, combining aromas of lemon, green apple, floral notes, and a mineral touch characteristic of volcanic terroir.
    • Palate: Fresh and elegant with well-balanced acidity, a pleasant salinity, and a persistent finish marked by mineral nuances and a slight bitterness.

    Serving

    Serve between 50-54°F (10-12°C). A short decanting of 30 minutes is recommended for young vintages to fully reveal its aromas.

    Food Pairings

    This wine pairs well with line-caught fish such as gilt-head bream or sea bass, roasted free-range poultry with Provençal herbs, sautéed green asparagus, and aged fresh goat cheese. It also complements a seafood risotto for a delicate meal.

    Occasions

    Ideal for a summer dinner with friends, a formal business lunch, or to celebrate a wedding anniversary with simplicity and refinement.

    Aging Potential

    This wine can be enjoyed now but will gain complexity and depth over the next 5 to 8 years.
