2023
In Lavico Etna Bianco, Carricante, a grape variety indigenous to the Etna area, tells the story of its land through intense aromas of peach and exotic fruit, ignited by iodine sensations, at times spicy. Savory and persistent on the palate, it has the freshness typical of the grape variety, which gives it structure and unexpected longevity, and the minerality of one whose roots are rooted in soil made of lava.
