Profile & Story
Le Sabbie dell'Etna Bianco is a pioneer label of Firriato's Etna production and part of the house's history -- a terroir entirely unlike the rest of Sicily, with cold winters and less intense sunlight, so the grapes ripen slowly and build their aromas more linearly. The blend is Carricante with Catarratto, grown on loamy-sandy soils of volcanic origin with very high drainage, which give the wine its particular minerality, enriched by the aromatic contribution of Carricante and its elegant nuances of white fruit.
Tasting Notes
Colour and bouquet are strongly marked by floral notes recalling the yellow flowers of mimosa and broom, which enhance fruity nuances of white peach and ripe pear. On the palate it is full and rich in structure, with a lasting freshness and a persistent tangy, mineral note.
