Vino di Anna “ Bianco G” Mount Etna 2023

Anna Martens and Eric Narioo,Mount Etna, Sicily 

Anna Martens and Eric Narioo made their first wine together on Mount Etna in 2008. In 2010, the couple purchased their first vineyard of old bush vines of Nerello Mascelese in Contrada Crasà, along with a neighbouring, derelict Etnean palmento and wine cellar.
Today, with a team of locals, they cultivate organically, eight hectares of terraced land, divided into small vineyard plots and olive groves scattered across the north face of the volcano. Grapes are hand harvested in September and October and fermented into a range of natural wines, expressive of their “terroir”.
The estate also produces an extra virgin olive oil and rears the rare Sicilian black bee.

Palmento Bianco is a field blend of organically grown, indigenous Sicilian white grapes, mainly grown high on the northern slopes of Mt Etna, Sicily. All the fruit was hand harvested from different vineyards during the month of September. The Catarratto, Insolia and Grillo grapes were harvested first, and whole bunch pressed immediately into stainless steel. The Grecanico grapes, along with small quantities of Minnella Bianca and Carricante were harvested towards the end of September.
