Description

Etna Bianco DOC Villa dei Baroni di Carranco is born on the fertile slopes of the Etna volcano, a unique terroir where the altitude and volcanic soils give character and minerality to the wine. Produced mainly from Carricante grapes, this white represents the essence of the Etna territory with its vibrant freshness and distinctive elegance. The aging process in stainless steel preserves the aromatic purity and intensity of the scents, rich in citrus notes, white flowers, and a delicate hint of flint.

On the palate, Etna Bianco DOC Villa dei Baroni shows itself balanced and dynamic, with a pleasant sapidity that recalls the nearby sea. An ideal companion for dishes based on fish, shellfish, and light preparations, this wine expresses with great finesse the combination of volcanic nature and winemaking expertise, delivering a fresh, savory, and persistent sip that tells the beating heart of Etna.

Winery history

The Carranco project was born from the desire to unite Borgogno's historic expertise and Tornatore's Etna roots. The estate's website notes that the initiative began in 2018. The property also preserves an ancient underground palmento dating back to the 18th century, which has undergone conservation and restoration work.

Production philosophy

The winery declares an approach that combines respect for the territory with local tradition: cultivation of indigenous grape varieties, careful attention to the timing dictated by the volcano, and winemaking rooted in Etna's historical practices. Publicly stated values include attentiveness, gratitude and character.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located on the north side of Mount Etna, around Contrada Carranco at about 500 m above sea level. The soils are volcanic in origin and the vines are also trained as bush vines on terraced slopes.
