Experience Eduardo Torres’ Artisanal 2022 Minella Bianca from Sicily’s Volcanic Slopes

Crafted by visionary winemaker Eduardo Torres on Mt. Etna’s dramatic north face, this exceptional organic Sicilian white wine embodies pure volcanic terroir. Sourced from 50+ year-old vines across six distinct contrade (districts) at 550-850 meters elevation, our Minella Bianca thrives in mineral-rich, sandy volcanic ash soils – a unique signature of Etna wines.

Torres employs meticulous low-intervention techniques true to natural winemaking principles:
– Hand-harvested grapes undergo spontaneous co-fermentation with native yeasts
– Minimalist processing: no temperature control, no added sulfur during fermentation
– Gentle 5-day maceration in concrete tanks preserves vibrant fruit character
– Aged 8 months (80% concrete vats / 20% tonneaux) for harmonious integration
– Bottled unfined/unfiltered with near-zero SO2 additions

The result? A strikingly authentic expression of Sicilian volcanic white wine – expect vibrant acidity framing notes of citrus zest, wild herbs, and smoky minerality with refreshing 12.5% alcohol. Perfect for natural wine enthusiasts seeking terroir-transparent whites that pair brilliantly with seafood or creamy cheeses.
