Discover Ciro Biondi’s Etna Bianco: A Taste of Sicilian Volcanic Heritage
Experience the legacy of Mount Etna with Ciro Biondi’s captivating 2020 white wine. Crafted from organically farmed grapes (90% Carricante, 10% Cataratto & Minnella) grown on ancient terraced slopes within an old volcanic crater on Etna’s southern face – land cherished by Ciro’s family for generations.
This unique Sicilian white wine undergoes fermentation and aging in oak barrels. Crucially, fermenting in oak creates a natural byproduct that prevents excessive oak character from dominating the palate. The result? A beautifully balanced expression of Etna’s volcanic soil, offering alluring aromas of yellow flowers and fresh apricot, complemented by subtle herbal nuances.
On the palate, expect a round and lush texture underpinned by a distinct mineral freshness characteristic of high-altitude Etna wines. This elegant structure makes it incredibly food-friendly Italian white, pairing superbly with delicate seafood dishes or succulent roast chicken.
At 12.5% alcohol, it delivers pure, vibrant flavor without heaviness. Embrace authentic organic Sicilian winemaking and savor a piece of volcanic history in every glass of this distinctive Etna Bianco.
