“Etna white brings and merges together, in its pallor and its aroma, in its freshness and in its hidden smoky vein, the perennial shows of the mountain top and the fire of the volcano”. (By Mario Soldati, “Vino al vino”) ERSE, Etna DOC. 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.
