Crafted from Carricante grapes sourced from two distinct vineyards, this Etna Bianco is a testament to the diverse terroirs of the legendary Mount Etna. The majority of the grapes hail from the sun-kissed slopes of Sant'Alfio on the eastern side, while the remaining derive from the enchanting Contrada Cuba, nestled on the northern face of this iconic volcano.
Manual harvest of the grapes in the cool hours of the early morning to preserve freshness. After the destemming, the grapes are gently pressed, and after 48 hours of natural settling, the juice ferments in stainless steel tank using selected yeasts. Aging on the fine lees for 6 months in stainless steel with weekly battonages. 3 months bottle refinement before release.
Monteleone is a small, family-run winery, from a pair of passionate young vignerons, husband and wife team, Benedetto and Giulia Monteleone. Giulia has a background as a food and wine writer, while Benedetto is a trained Winemaker and Viticulturalist who studied at the prestigious Università di Enologia di San Michele all’Adige in Alto-Adige. Together they shared a dream of one day owning their own winery and after much research, in 2017 they found themselves the perfect property at the foot of Sicily’s Mount Etna, next to the Alcantara river.
