Etna Bianco Tenuta San Michele

admin — Mon, 16 Aug 2021 01:24:36 +0000

After 20 years from the first production of the Murgo Etna white we have created a new wine obtained with innovative criteria.
The careful selection of grapes from the best batches of the San Michele vineyard brings a better balance in its components, enhancing its minerality, breadth and persistence. The partial aging in oak with blonde roasting safeguards the aromatic characteristics of the wine, giving greater complexity and balance.

This wine is obtained from the best batches of Nerello Mascalese that have been selected for perfect polyphenolic maturation. The long maceration at low temperature allows a complete extraction of the components creating a wine in which the true potential of these particular grapes and the Etna terroir are enhanced.
The particular elegance of the tannins combined with a remarkable concentration determines a great sensory complexity in which the mineral taste of the black sands of the volcano is highlighted in a very fine way. Next to these characteristics you can perceive spicy notes that combine in a very pleasant way with the fruity of the grapes and you can feel in the aftertaste traces of vanilla and toasted hazelnuts.
