The Etna Bianco Santo Spirito di Tenuta delle Terre Nere was produced from 100% Carricante grapes grown in the territory of Santo Spirito, locality of Castiglione di Sicilia (CT). We are on the south side of the volcano, at an altitude between 700 and 750 meters above sea level, on soils characterized by volcanic ash that host vines of 40-70 years old grown in traditional bush form. The winemaking process included a short cold pre-maceration at 8-10°C followed by a soft pressing. Alcoholic fermentation took place in French oak barrels of 5 and 10 hectoliters. Malolactic fermentation and aging occurred for 10 months in barrel. Finally, the Etna Bianco Santo Spirito di Tenuta delle Terre Nere refined for 8 months in the bottle.
