Murgo Tenuta San Michele Etna Bianco is a vibrant expression of Sicily’s iconic volcanic terroir, crafted with precision by the Murgo family. Nestled on the rugged slopes of Mount Etna, their vineyards benefit from the mountain’s mineral-rich soils and high-altitude climate, yielding wines of remarkable finesse and complexity. The meticulous winemaking process begins with cold maceration and gentle pressing, followed by fermentation in stainless steel and French oak barriques. A careful blend of both vessels ensures a balance between freshness and texture, with the wine maturing for at least seven months before further refinement in the bottle. The result? A beautifully poised wine that captures the soul of Etna—refined, expressive, and unmistakably elegant.
