Le Sabbie dell'Etna Bianco Etna DOC

Terroir and wine-making

On the estate of Cavanera Etnea, located on the slopes of the Sicilian volcano, Firriato grows white Sicilian grapes that best express the territorial identity of the region. A unique terroir, characterized by cold winters and mild climate that slow down the ripening process and give the beans rich Mediterranean aromas. The harvest is carried out during the second decade of October, strictly by hand. In the cellar, the grapes are gently pressed before fermenting at a controlled temperature. Three months of ageing on noble lees in stainless steel tanks perfect the interesting scents of Firriato’s Etna Bianco Doc.
