ADDITIONAL NOTES:

It is a perfect blend of vines rooted in volcanic soils and the mountainous climate that only Etna can offer. The evocative glass of the celebrated, centuries-old Nerello Mascalese sparkling white wine at Cavanera's winery on Etna is an example of absolute style. The sparkling process is done according to the "blanc de noirs" method to enhance the organoleptic characteristics of Nerello Mascalese. After soft pressing of the unstemmed bunches, vinification takes place inside the cellar carved out of the typical Etnean baglio dating back to the 17th century.
