WINE DESCRIPTION

The wine is made from grapes grown in the Etna appellation, which is known for its volcanic soil and high altitude vineyards. The unique terroir of the region imparts a distinct minerality and freshness to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected before undergoing a gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine is crisp and refreshing, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of salinity. Planeta Etna Bianco is a perfect match for seafood dishes and light salads, making it a versatile and elegant choice for any occasion.
