Tenute dei Ciclopi Etna Bianco 2023
Vintage Character
Tenute dei Ciclopi Etna Bianco 2023 comes from a challenging season on the volcano, when the balance between rain and heat changed sharply. After limited winter rain in the northern Etna area, heavy May and June rainfall encouraged downy mildew around flowering. A dry summer followed, making vineyard condition and the progress of ripening particularly important. Against that regional background, this Carricante-led white offers a fresh, savoury expression rather than relying on weight alone. Carricante accounts for most of the blend, accompanied by other native varieties that contribute to its rounded, layered character. After 2023's wet flowering and dry summer, freshness and savoury definition give the ripe fruit a clear counterweight.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Green mandarin peel and citron introduce the aromas, with peach-like fruit, plum and orange blossom adding breadth. Herbal touches of oregano and caper sit beside the wine's mineral impression. The palate is full and balanced, moving from a soft, rounded centre toward a lively, savoury finish. Citrus returns as the wine lingers, keeping the texture refreshed rather than heavy. Pair it with grilled fish, a courgette risotto, or steamed prawns with ginger. These choices give its generous body enough substance to accompany, while highlighting the salt-edged freshness and aromatic detail.
Winery Background
The producer grows this blend on volcanic sands and trains the vines as bushes. Whole grapes are used for white vinification, with selected yeasts and a fermentation lasting about eighteen days. A year in stainless steel is followed by further bottle resting, allowing the wine to settle without making oak the centre of its identity. The approach keeps attention on local varieties and the contrast between rounded fruit and a mineral, citrus-driven finish. It is a useful introduction to the estate's white-wine style and its volcanic setting.
