Vino di Anna 2024 Jeudi 15 Bianco (Arrives 7/21)

A blend of organically grown Carricante, Catarratto and Grecanico harvested from numerous small vineyards, high on the north face of Mt Etna. The Carricante comes from a young vineyard in Contrada Pietramarina, with ancient, deep sandstone subsoils resulting in sapid, mineral undertones. This fruit was direct pressed and fermented in a chestnut barrel. The Catarratto and Grecanico comes from a vineyard in the unique contrada of Flascio on the NW side of Etna, halfway between Randazzo and Bronte. This fascinating site is full of large round river stones from when the “Fiume Flascio” broke its banks many years ago. The resultant fruit is tropical in flavour with saline notes & high acidity. These grapes were fermented in stainless steel to dryness. The two new wines were blended together after they had finished malolactic fermentation, and remained on light lees until bottling late March 2025. 20 ppm SO2 added at bottling. - Coeur Wine

Insane freshness and acidity, with sweet herbs like mint & basil, white flowers, and lemon.
