This stunning wine captivates the senses with its intoxicating aromatics, perfectly layered flavors, and sumptuous texture. It is the icon of the Scammacca del Murgo family whose mission is to preserve the identity of Mt. Etna. Their best vineyard ‘Tenuta San Michele’ sits 500m above sea level, dominated by the dual influences of Etna and the Ionian Sea. The vineyard’s mineral-rich, volcanic soils yield exceptional fruit, which they crafted into wines of remarkable personality and finesse. Winemaking is gentle, with care being taken to protect the delicate nuance of these grapes.
2021 Murgo ‘Tenuta San Michele’ Etna Bianco
The 2021 Murgo ‘Tenuta San Michele’ Etna Bianco is such a harmonious symphony of aromas and flavors. All the elements are seamless and well-integrated. Their long growing seasons’ warm days and cool nights make for perfect grapes that reflect their volcanic soils in the blend of 60% Carricante and 40% Catarratto. They ferment in stainless steel vats and French oak barrels to give a wine that has aromas that explode out of the glass, with clean and fresh flavors, a round mineral texture, and a crisp finish, making it a delightful glass of wine.
Aroma: Meyer lemon, fleshy white peach, honeycomb, fennel seed, white pepper and the briny mediterranean sea. Mouth: Amazing texture from the time in the barrel and bottle, bursting with fresh fruit, herbal green tea, pristine minerality and a refreshing finish. Pairs well with all types of fish and shellfish. Excellent $32.00, Case $26.99
