From the mineral-rich terraces high on Etna’s northern face, where cool mountain air meets ancient volcanic soil, this white captures the mountain’s luminous energy. It is Frontesciara distilled to its brightest expression — tension, clarity, and the unmistakable imprint of the volcano.
Varietal: 100% Carricante
Region: Sicily
Alcohol: 12.5 %
WINEMAKING: Produced from the Frontesciara’s 16 hectares of estate vineyards. The grapes for their Bianco were harvested by hand in mid‑September at peak balance of aromatics and freshness. After picking, the fruit is cooled with dry ice to preserve aromas and prevent oxidation, then gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, allowing the wine’s varietal character to emerge with clarity and precision.
TASTING NOTES: Crystalline straw‑gold with green reflections. Aromas of star fruit and white nectarine lead into notes of lemon verbena, wild fennel, and a subtle almond nuance. The palate is taut and vibrant, driven by bright acidity and layers of green plum, Amalfi lemon, and white grapefruit. A strong mineral core—iodine, wet pumice, crushed shell—carries through to a long, chalky finish with lingering Mediterranean herbs and saline lift.
PAIRING: Raw oysters, grilled branzino, linguine alle vongole, burrata with citrus, ceviche, risotto ai frutti di mare.
