Archineri Etna Bianco is produced from 100% Carricante grapes, obtained from pre-phylloxera vines grown in Milo, in the Contrada Caselle at 850 metres above sea level, on deep sandy soils. This unique pedo-climatic situation, favoured by exposure to the sea, the proximity of the Valle del Bove and the vines, some of which have reached the age of 150 years, enable the Carricante to express its highest levels of quality. After gentle pressing, the wine ages in steel and rests in the bottle for 12 months. The result is a wine that stands out for its detailed notes of white peach, citrus and soft sage that creates a full and distinct aroma leading to an elegant, intense mouthfeel; stony, chalky minerals fill the palate which has a fine texture thanks to some gentle lees stirring.
