WINE DESCRIPTION

Tenuta di Fessina Erse Etna Bianco is a premium white wine produced by the renowned winery Tenuta di Fessina in the Etna appellation of Sicily, Italy. The vineyards are located on the slopes of Mount Etna, which is known for its volcanic soil and unique microclimate that produces exceptional wines. The wine is made from a blend of indigenous grape varieties, including Carricante and Catarratto, which are carefully selected and hand-harvested. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in oak barrels for added complexity. The resulting wine is elegant and refined, with a crisp acidity and notes of citrus, white flowers, and minerality. It is a perfect match for seafood, pasta dishes, and light appetizers.
