The Etna Bianco Contrada Taccione from the Planeta winery is a white wine made from Carricante produced in the heart of Etna viticulture, on the northern slope of the Sicilian volcano. Fresh, rich, and multifaceted, it expresses both a pronounced minerality typical of Etna wines and soft notes of acacia, prickly pear, almond, and wood. Best enjoyed with pasta with sardines to dream of the unforgettable Sicilian landscapes.

ripeness stage is reached and are then immediately refrigerated at a temperature of 6-8 °C for one night. This is followed by manual selection, destemming, and soft pressing, with the must thus obtained being sent for alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature, with 80% of the mass in steel and the remaining 20% in oak barrels of 25 and 50 hectoliters and in Nevers oak tonneaux, the same containers in which the wine remains to mature until bottling.

The Planeta Etna Bianco ‘Contrada Taccione’ is a bright straw yellow color with greenish reflections. On the nose, inviting aromas of plum, citrus, aromatic herbs, and acacia flowers are perceived, combined with a vibrant mineral tone and light nuances of bitter almond and fine woods. The tasting reveals richness and freshness, with a juicy and mineral progression that anticipates sensations of yellow plum and prickly pear in the finish.
