Description
Please meet Salvo Foti, the magician of Etna’s eastern face, where Carricante achieves apotheosis. This is one of his cultiest bottlings, an unlikely blend of organically grown white grapes (mostly Carricante, olus some Minella Bianca, et al.) grown on the volcano's highest vineyard at almost 4,000 feet above sea level. Aurora (which means 'dawn' in Italian) is also the name of a small and graceful native butterfly that's in and among the vines and currently at risk of extinction. A wine that sings of its place on a sea-spat volcano, this is citrus-driven and saline, with notes of lemon, peach, chalk, and waxy undertones. A wild island white to dazzle your senses with.
