VINIFICATION
Originating from Contrada Zottorinoto in full compliance with DOC regulations, it does not undergo malolactic fermentation, hence it is very fresh and extremely minerally. Refined solely in steel vats for 5 months on fine lees, it receives a thrice-weekly batonnage.
ON THE PALATE
With fine acidic underpinning and an endless zest, on the palate it reflects its volcanic terroir displaying notes of citrus, green apple peel and hints of saline.
EVENTS IT MAKES MAGICAL
To paraphrase Emily Dickinson, all it takes to make Sicily is Etna, the sea and Virgola Bianco. However, Virgola Bianco may well suffice, if there is no sea in the vicinity.
