Duca di Salaparuta Lavico Etna Bianco 2021

Guiseppe Alliata, the Duke of Salaparuta, founded this estate in 1824 to produce good wine for his guests. In the late 19th century, under the leadership of Guiseppe's son Edward, the winery grew into Italy's most successful wine exporter. He hired a French winemaker to ensure that only the latest technology would be used.

Duca di Salaparuta's wines reflect the ongoing seduction and passion of Sicily. All wines are unique in expression due to local idiosyncrasies combined with traditions in winemaking. The common thread running through Duca di Salaparuta's production is the strength of the soil on which the vines for each individual wine grow. Traditional, indigenous grape varieties are combined with international varieties, giving them a refined range of innovative wines.

Duca di Salaparuta Lavico Bianco is a savoury yet fresh and balanced Etna wine. The wine is obtained from Carricante grapes. This is an indigenous grape of the Etna area that surprises with minerality and structure, derived from the volcanic terroir.

The bouquet is intense with notes of peach and exotic fruit, blending with special aromas of iodine and white pepper. The palate is fresh, flavoursome, lively and balanced with a wonderful lingering finish.
