Etna White BIANCO DI SEI DOC 2019

Etna Bianco Bianco di Sei DOC 2019 by Palmento Costanzo

The Etna Bianco Bianco di Sei DOC 2019 is a Sicilian white wine of great personality, an authentic expression of the northern slope of Etna. It is made from a blend primarily of Carricante, with a small percentage of Catarratto, and accurately reflects the volcanic character of the territory. It is a bottle that combines freshness, substance, and savoriness, with an elegant and contemporary profile, ideal for those seeking a territorial, clear, and versatile wine at the table.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from Contrada Santo Spirito, in Passopisciaro, in one of the most interesting areas of Etna for its qualitative vocation. The northern exposure helps preserve tension and freshness, while the soils of black and brown volcanic sands, with stones and effusive rocks, give the wine a marked mineral imprint. The presence of vines trained as bush vines, including very old plants, contributes to defining a concentrated yet balanced expression, where the territory always remains the protagonist.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a straw yellow color. The bouquet is broad and refined, with notes of white flowers, citrus, honey, and ginger, enriched by hints of aromatic herbs and a nuance reminiscent of hydrocarbons, typical of some great interpretations of Carricante. On the palate, the wine is fresh, fleshy, and persistent, with a savory texture and a mineral finish that extends the drinking experience. The sip is smooth yet not trivial, capable of combining immediacy and depth.

Recommended pairings

This Etna Bianco pairs naturally with raw fish, tartare, carpaccio, shellfish, delicate seafood first courses, and baked or grilled fish. It is also excellent with seasonal vegetables, fresh cheeses, and not overly structured Mediterranean preparations. Its freshness and mineral component make it suitable for accompanying flavorful yet elegant dishes without overpowering their aromas.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate the Etna Bianco Bianco di Sei DOC 2019, a serving temperature of 10-12°C is recommended. A brief rest in the glass can help it express its aromatic range more fully, especially in the first years after bottling.
