Donnafugata ‘Isolano Limited Edition D&G’ Etna Bianco is produced with a solid base of Carricante grapes, combined with small percentages of other indigenous grape varieties. The vines grow on the northern slope of the volcano, in the municipalities of Randazzo and Castiglione di Sicilia, on terraces held by dry stone walls made of lava stone. The soils are sandy, of volcanic origin and rich in mineral elements while the altitude ranges from 700 to 750 meters above sea level. In the winery, the grapes are vinified in white with soft pressing and alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, the same containers where the mass remains to mature for 9 months before bottling. Following are an additional 12 months of aging in glass.
