Cavanera Contrada Verzella is a Bianco Etna DOC cru that encapsulates in its intense and refined bouquet the aromas and complexity of a unique terroir in the field of Sicilian viticulture—the Etna Volcano. This land of harsh high mountainside winters and lush vines grown in full sunlight gives an elegant Firriato white, a union of Carricante and Catarratto. This single vineyard is the object of meticulous care due to the special microclimate that it enjoys. The ‘young’ soils are particularly fertile due to the presence of a high concentration of nutrients. This, together with the farming practices of leaf removal and promotion of the vines’ strength give the wine a decisive character, with a balanced acidity and softness and an extraordinary potential longevity.
