Firriato - Le Sabbie Dell'Etna Bianco (Bianco Etna DOC) | Carricante (predominant) and Catarratto | Etna DOC, Sicily, Italy | 12.5% ABV
This elegant Etna white from Firriato's Cavanera Etnea estate embodies the volcanic terroir with its distinctive minerality and freshness. It displays a bright straw yellow hue with greenish reflections and captivates with aromas of white flowers like mimosa and broom, ripe white peach, pear, citrus zest, and subtle Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is crisp and vibrant, with lively acidity, savory saline notes, elegant fruit flavors, and a persistent, refreshing finish that echoes the sandy volcanic soils.
Best paired with:
- Fresh seafood and shellfish
- Grilled or baked fish dishes
- Seafood pasta or risottos
- Vegetable antipasti and salads
- Fresh and soft cheeses
