Musmeci Etna Bianco DOC Superiore 2022

Our Bianco Superiore comes from a manual selection from Alberelli Centenari di Carricante in the iconic Contrada of the same name located in the municipality of Milo, where the unique climatic conditions, the volcanic soil and the combination of altitude and the influence of the Ionian Sea guarantee verticality, flavor and great aging potential. Our Il Musmeci fermented in French oak and then aged for 24 months in stainless steel and then another 12 months in the bottle. The nose is reminiscent of anise, wild fennel, wax, bread crust and candied lemon, this Cru stands out for its persistence and complexity, bringing back to the nose the memory of the sea, but also the elegant and fresh notes of a great mountain wine.
