A’ Puddara Etna Bianco DOC 2019 by Tenuta di Fessina - Silvia Maestrelli is a Sicilian white wine with great personality, made from 100% Carricante.

It is a bottle designed for those seeking a wine with character, capable of combining aromatic finesse, tasting tension, and a very recognizable mineral profile.

Territory and wine style

The production area is Biancavilla, on the Etna side, in a vineyard located about 900 meters above sea level with a south-facing exposure. The vines, planted in 1950, result in a limited production consistent with the quality approach of the winery. The Etna Bianco DOC here finds a clear and modern interpretation, yet always faithful to the territory: Carricante indeed expresses freshness, sapidity, and a pronounced mineral imprint, elements that clearly define the style of A’ Puddara. The 2019 vintage, described as particularly favorable, contributed to a ripe yet firm fruit, with excellent concentration and great aromatic definition.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a straw yellow with green reflections. The bouquet is intense and refined, with hints of graphite, orange peel, broom, aromatic herbs, and nuances of mango. On the palate, A’ Puddara Etna Bianco DOC 2019 shows a slender structure, marked freshness, and a vertical minerality that accompanies the sip to the finish. Notes of lemon, tropical fruit, a buttery touch at the start, and a savory, marine, very persistent finish emerge. It is a taut, precise white with great tasting depth.

Recommended pairings
