Etna Bianco 'Monte Gorna' Cantine Nicosia 2022
Organic and biodynamicEtna Bianco Monte Gorna by Cantine Nicosia is a white wine originating from a ageing in stainlees stelle and wood, from local grapes born on the volcanic sands of Sicily. It has a bright golden yellow and an elegant and round aromatic profile of camomille flowers, white fruits and honey, along with mineral notes. At the palate it is round and deep and it well expresses the sapidity of its terroir, with hints of ripe exotic fruit. Its citric and mineral persistence reveals its mediterranean soul.
The Etna Bianco “Monte Gorna” is a beautiful interpretation of the Etna territory, created by Cantine Nicosia, one of the reference producers of the area. It is a label of particular prestige, made exclusively with grapes from a vineyard of the estate, which expresses bunches of particular aromatic richness. As in the best tradition of the whites from the volcano, the cuvée is mainly composed of Carricante, to which a small percentage of Catarratto is added. The choice to use wood for aging allows the blend to achieve an excellent expressive maturity, with aromas ranging from floral notes to fruity ones, from savory nuances to mineral ones.
The “Monte Gorna” Etna Bianco from the historic Cantine Nicosia comes from the best Catarratto and Carricante vineyards of the estate, cultivated on terraces located on the slopes of Monte Gorna, an ancient extinct volcanic cone, characterized by soils made up of light volcanic sands that are very draining. The vineyards are located at an altitude between 650 and 750 meters above sea level. At the end of the harvest, the best bunches are softly pressed. The free-run must ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature for about three weeks. The aging process involves aging in steel containers, a brief passage in acacia tonneau, and a few months in bottle before being released on the market.
The Etna Bianco “Monte Gorna” from the historic Cantine Nicosia is a medium-structured wine, intense and elegant, that reflects all the charm of the great Sicilian volcano.

The olfactory profile is characterized by scents of yellow flowers, fruity aromas, citrus zest, and mineral hints, which anticipate a long and complex sip, of great finesse and expressive freshness. It is an unmissable bottle for those who want to know and appreciate all the potential of the Etna terroir.
