Wine Details
The Gaja family - Angelo in front, with from L-R Gaia, Giovanni, Lucia and Rossana

IDDA Bianco 2023 6x75cl

Sicilia DOP

Notes of tomato leaves, sage, Cantaloupe (melon) and quince at the first sniff. Followed by intriguing hints of honey and hay, yet a note of yeast and dough raises from the glass. The entrance is voluptuous and tight, yellow plum and pineapple enrich the palate with a sleek acidity. Clean-cut and savory on the mineral-laced finish.

Vineyards

Located both in Biancavilla, on the south-west slope of the Etna Volcano, between 700-800 m a.s.l. (2296-2624 ft), and in Belpasso, on the southern slope of the Etna Volcano, between 600-700 m a.s.l. (1968 – 2296 ft).

Winemaking

Cold pressing of the whole bunches. After a static clarification, fermentation took place at controlled temperature between 18-20°C, partly in 10 hl oak barrels and partly in stainless steel. The wine, filtered, was bottled one year after.
