- ETNA BIANCO 'SUL VULCANO' DONNAFUGATA 2021 DESCRIPTION
- The beautiful label of Sul Vulcano€ Donnafugata already describes in one glance the white it contains: a goddess
- volcano with her intense colors, the red, the yellows, the iridescent blacks, are those of the highest active volcano in Europe. An ancient, powerful and feminine divinity: the Mountain€ as Etna is called by the locals. Sweetness and strength, sea and rock: two combinations that strongly characterize all of Donnafugata's production in Sicily, but even more so when it comes to the vineyards on the slopes of Etna, which extend for 21 hectares. Bottles that are now almost an icon, not only for their artistic uniqueness with bright and sunny pastel colors, but also for their undisputed quality.
- Donnafugata Etna Bianco Sul Vulcano€ is a pure Carricante. The vineyards are located on the northern slope of Etna, between Randazzo and Castiglione di Sicilia, around 750 meters above sea level, where the lava soil is rich in minerals and the strong temperature variations favor high
- quality grapes. During the manual harvest, a thorough selection of the grapes already in the vineyard is carried out, then placed in crates. Fermentation takes place in steel at a controlled temperature between 14°C and 16°C, while the refinement takes place partly in steel and partly in French oak barriques and in the bottle for at least 9 months before being released for sale.
- On the Volcano€ Etna Bianco by Doonafugata has the warmth of an intense straw yellow with golden reflections. The nose reveals hints of golden apple and citrus, a direct reference to the southern Italian island, with sweet tones of honey. The bouquet is elegant and refined, with smoky and flint touches that bring the mind back to Etna. In the mouth it is fresh and deep, with a notable mineral and savoury charge, in an excellent balance that leads to notable persistence. It is an elegant, dynamic and bewitching wine, full of strong emotions with the colours of the sun and the black volcanic earth. An explosion of passion in a sinuous and velvety body, just like the woman on the label.
