Ayunta Etna Bianco Piante/Sparse 2022
90% Carricante, field blended with Grenico, Catarratto, Minnella and others organically grown on volcanic soils. Sourced from vineyards on the north slopes of Etna in and around Randazzo. In Italian “PIANTE / SPARSE” literally means “stray-vines.” Ayunta doesn't own a whole vineyard of white grapes, but in their old vineyards of red grapes there were traditionally planted some vines of white grapes. Hand-harvested, half whole cluster pressed and the rest with 5-6 days of skin contact with spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel. Aged in cement vats for 18 months on the lees.
Golden, tender, with more complexity and texture - layers of flavor and an incredibly lengthy finish.
