ERUZIONE 1614 RIESLING BIANCO BIO 0,750 - IGT TERRE SICILIANE

When we set our sights on Sciaranuova, our primary focus was on researching white wines. For this reason, we planted 4,500 Rhine Riesling vines in the first year and subsequently. An extraordinary variety, cultivated according to sustainable and organic criteria, which thrives in lava soil and benefits from the altitude of over 800 meters above sea level of the terraces on the edge of the lava flow created after the eruption of 1614, which lasted ten years, the longest in recorded history.

CULTIVATION METHOD
According to organic farming criteria and the SOStain® protocol; grassed soils with spontaneous flora to increase organic matter, promoting the vitality of soil microfauna; phytosanitary protection with minimal amounts of sulfur and copper; pest control with beneficial insects, sexual confusion, and the application of natural fortifiers such as zeolite, kaolin, and plant extracts.

A unique wine, the first Riesling on Etna and in Sicily. Pale in color with green highlights, the nose is still youthful, with all the typical precursors of the "variety of kings": white apple, plum, lemon, and yellow flowers. On the palate, it is perfectly dry, with a subtle acidity. The palate is perhaps its strongest point at this young stage, with that "mineral" flavor that experts debate so much in describing it.

Its vibrant acidity and pronounced flavour pair well with all "pure" flavours: baked mackerel or steamed snapper, rice and vegetable dishes, raw vegetables and, in ethnic cuisines, with sashimi or, changing continents, with quesadilla.
