Firriato Etna Bianco Cavanera Ripa di Scorciavacca 2021
Cavanera Ripa di Scorciavacca is a Cru Bianco Etna DOC that encapsulates in its intense and refined bouquet the scents and complexity of a unique terroir in the Sicilian viticultural landscape, the Etna volcano. From the winter rigors of the high mountains and the lushness of the vines grown in full sunlight comes an elegant white wine from Firriato, the result of the union of Carricante and Catarratto, a single vineyard subject to meticulous attention because of the privileged microclimate it enjoys. The “young” soils are particularly fertile due to the presence of a high concentration of nutrients, which, in conjunction with the agronomic practices of defoliation and promotion of vine vigor, impart a firm and balanced character between acidity and softness and an extraordinary potential for longevity.
