Winemaker Notes

Very pale yellow in the glass; aroma and flavor of wet stones, with hints of mixed Mediterranean herbs and citrus peel;  bright acidity in the mouth, palate-staining concentration, lovely minerally white wine. Very reminiscent of Chablis. Estate bottled.

Winery Description

Eastern Sicily: 83 terraces, stretching between Contrada Praino and Contrada Volpare, through the pathways of the Milo forest, 700 m above sea level, on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe.

Maugeri is the wine-growing project of an Etnean family, who have returned to their home district to make wine once more. The unbroken line of more than 2.8 km of lava dry-stone walling borders the 7 hectares of the property, an amphitheatre of fertile volcanic soil, in a close embrace with the Mediterranean landscape.

Grape Varietal: Carricante
