_ERSE, Etna DOC Bianco, 2012 vintage,
Tenuta di Fessina_
Our centennial vineyards stretch across the sloping fields of Milo and Santa Maria di Licodia, between Mt Etna top and the Ionian Sea. From their bush-trained vines the Doc Etna Bianco ERSE is produced, blending Carricante with indigenous grape varieties such as Minnella and Catarratto.
ERSE, vinified in stainless steel tanks, is our interpretation of a variety which has been considered for a long time a “deluxe” minor wine grape, due to its remarkable characteristics of freshness and longevity.
Destiny has it that, on Etna, the various vineyards produce very diverse wines, produced by soils and micro-environments so particular as to render them unique.
Milo was born on the volcanic landslides that fell into the sea some 10,000-15,000 years ago: the dark lands of Milo are made up of a mixture of detritus in many differentiated layers, produced by the decay of the volcano and an extraordinarily rich source of nutrients for the grapevines.
