AL-CANTARA OCCHI DI CIUMI ETNA BIANCO CL.75 DOC

Al-Cantara Occhi di Ciumi Etna Bianco DOC represents one of the excellences of Sicilian wine production. Born from vineyards located on the slopes of Mount Etna, this white wine is a sensory journey through the flavors and aromas of this rich and generous land. The volcanic terroir of Etna gives this wine unique characteristics. The mineral-rich soil imparts a pronounced minerality, while the thermal excursions between day and night allow for a slow and complete ripening of the grapes, preserving their acidity and aromas. The grapes used for the production of Occhi di Ciumi are primarily Carricante, an indigenous Sicilian variety known for its ability to best express the Etna terroir. The harvest is done by hand, ensuring a careful selection of the best bunches. Vinification takes place in stainless steel to preserve the freshness and purity of the aromas, followed by maturation on the lees, which gives the wine complexity and structure. In appearance, Al-Cantara Occhi di Ciumi shows a bright straw yellow color with greenish reflections. On the nose, it offers a complex and fascinating aromatic bouquet with notes of citrus, white flowers, aromatic herbs, and a slight mineral nuance. On the palate, the wine is fresh, balanced, and persistent, with a pleasant acidity that enhances its drinkability and a long, harmonious finish. Occhi di Ciumi is a versatile wine, perfect for pairing with fish dishes, shellfish, seafood, fresh cheeses, and white meats. Thanks to its complexity and structure, it can also be appreciated on its own as a meditation wine. Al-Cantara Occhi di Ciumi Etna Bianco DOC is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality white wine capable of telling the story and traditions of Sicilian viticulture, while offering a unique and unforgettable tasting experience.
