Organic farming methods

This lovely, bright volcanic white comes from a family that has owned vineyards and made wine on Etna since 1860. Brother and sister winemaking team Giacomo and Flavia Rallo have taken the lead in continuing the tradition of making organic, natural wines to best showcase their family's vineyards. The vines, aged around 30 years old, come from some of the best terroirs on the volcano: the North Slope of Mount Etna, in the Zottorinoto and Puntale Palino contrada of Solicchiata, a hamlet of Castiglione di Sicilia, at 950 meters (3116 feet) altitude and on sandy volcanic soils. They are treated Organically, hand-harvested, wild yeast fermented in stainless steel, then a portion aged in old 500 liter Slavonian oak before being bottled with a light fining, filtering. The wines are then aged another 2 months in bottle before being released. The result is a beautiful, complex blend of smoky lemon, minerals, some light tropical notes on a medium fat body that ends in a long finish. Supremely elegant.
