Erse Etna DOC Bianco 2023

The entry white from the Fessina battery, the same name as the basic red, is the steel-vinified version of Carricante, combined for 20% with Minnella and Catarratto, indigenous Etna grapes from the company’s vineyards in Rovittello. In the new Etna DOC Bianco di Fessina the blend with Catarratto and Minnella integrates the aromatic apparatus. The fruit and the fragrance enhance the wonderful emotions that Carricante gives, so savory and with an unmistakable acidity. Erse Bianco is, intentionally, a fresh, young, direct wine, with great drinkability and an evident mineral imprint.
