Vigna di Milo is a Etna Superiore wine produced from 100% Carricante grape in cru Milo vineyard at 950m above sea level. Having a pale yellow colour, this wine develops aromas reminiscent of ripe apricot and orange blossom, sweet almonds and delicate incense. Fresh yet complex with a wild mixture of sea, volcano, altitude, citrus and flowers. Vigna di Milo is an Etna Superiore white wine produced from the eastern slopes of the Etna, in the town of Milo at 950m above sea level, overlooking the sea. The native and special vine is Carricante. The vineyard, a special Cru, is only 0.15Ha. Plant density and spacing is 1m x 1m, traditional alberello goblet training [single vines supported by chestnut posts for each plant], meaning 10,000 vines per hectare. Harvesting and cultivation are carried out by hand and the vineyard is tilled with mule (donkey). Vinification takes place without the use of temperature control vats, cultivated yeasts and sulphites. The wine is bottles unfiltered. Racking and bottling are carried out following moon phases. AG : Dark straw yellow. Oxidative nuances to the ripe peach, apple, potpourri and oregano aromas and flavors. Dense, juicy and smooth, with a tactile mouthfeel and a long broad finish. Made from ungrafted vines, this savory, thick wine may not be for everyone, but it sure packs in a ton of flavor and speaks clearly of both Carricante and Etna, which is more than I can say for a lot of other Etna Bianco wines. (12.5% alcohol) WA: The 2014 Etna Bianco Superiore Vignadimilo is a gorgeous and creamy expression from the Contrada Caselle vineyard in the Milo area of Etna. This is a deep and sophisticated white wine that shows a thick texture, with juicy fruit fiber and cleansing mineral nuances at the end. The wine’s balance is impeccable and so is the generosity it delivers to all the senses. Peach cobbler, preserved lemon, toasted pistachio nut and candied almond remind you of the wine’s profoundly Sicilian DNA. It promises future bottle evolution as well.
