The Firriato winery, located on the slopes of Etna in Sicily, offers a white wine of exceptional quality that captures the very essence of the volcanic terroir: the Etna Bianco "Le Sabbie dell'Etna." This wine is a tribute to the rich mineral composition of the volcanic soil, where the vine benefits from a unique microclimate thanks to the influences of the nearby sea and the altitude.
Produced primarily with Carricante and Catarratto grapes, the cuvée derives its particular aromatic and structural complexity from these ancient native grape varieties, which are perfectly adapted to the sandy soil and the cool climate of the high mountains. It is no coincidence that these grapes impart a distinctive freshness and minerality to the wine.
Visually, the wine presents itself with a bright straw-yellow color. On the nose, intense aromas of white flowers and white-fleshed fruits such as peach and pear emerge, enriched by subtle notes of aromatic herbs and a light hint of almond. On the palate, "Le Sabbie dell'Etna" expresses great freshness and persistent minerality, balanced by a lively acidic structure that precedes a long and refreshing finish.
Ideal as an aperitif, it pairs wonderfully with seafood, fish dishes, and fresh cheeses. It is also an excellent companion for Sicilian cuisine, highlighting Mediterranean flavors like those of spaghetti with seafood.
Firriato's Etna Bianco "Le Sabbie dell'Etna" represents a sophisticated example of how terroir and tradition can come together to create a white wine that is simultaneously elegant, complex, and deeply connected to its natural environment.
