Info about the wine

AURORA, which means Alba, is also the name of a small and pretty native butterfly that is threatened with extinction, with Mount Etna in the background.

The plot is located in the municipality of Milo - Etna East at 750 metres above sea level, Carricante 90 % and Minnella bianca 10%

Volcanic land, sandy high proportion of ripiddu

Info about the expansion

Harvest at the beginning of October, direct pressing of whole grapes with static and natural must clarification for about 30 hours, addition of indigenous yeasts, fermentation in steel tanks, minimal filtration and addition of sulphur during bottling at the end of April/beginning of May.

5500 litres yield per hectare, 10,000 bottles

Color

Delicate, elegant golden yellow with silvery reflections.

Nose

The 2021 Aurora Bianco beguiles the taster immediately on the nose with bright fruit such as pear, honeydew melon, lemon zest, lime blossom, vervain, hay and aniseed. The Mediterranean attitude to life in its purest form spreads with great liveliness and a deep mineral expression and encourages tasting immensely.

Palate

Refreshing, mineral, powerful and at the same time invigorating, it animates the palate, even more lively than in the years before with only 11.5 Vol%. The bright fruit is framed by an animating acidity and fine tart grapefruit notes as well as a fine tannin in the long finish. A special white wine that reflects Sicilian and Mediterranean life culture in full expression, from a master of Sicilian wine Salvo Foti.

Enjoy decanted not too cold from a large glass.
