I Vigneri, Etna Bianco 'Aurora' 2023 3-pack
$120
This time of year, the white wines of Mount Etna in Sicily become a favorite recommendation. Salty, smoky, super fresh, they have texture without being in the least bit oaky. This bottling from Salvo Foti - Etna's greatest winemaker - is the one we go back to more than any other. It’s the perfect crisp white to have on-hand for the spring and summer, or for anytime you want an alternative to top-class Chablis.
This bundle includes:
3 bottles of I Vigneri, Etna Bianco 'Aurora' 2023
Here's what you should know about it:
- This white wine is made from the local carricante grape, which Salvo Foti organically farms 1200 meters up the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily.
- Before he launched I Vigneri, Salvo Foti showed the world what Etna wines were capable of at Benanti.
- Mount Etna is a highly active volcano that receives constant winds off the Mediterranean Sea. This contributes to smoky, salty, crisp white wines.
As sommeliers, we often get asked, “What’s the best wine on the list?”
