TASTING NOTES

Etna Bianco Euzione 1614 by Planeta, a young winery which, since 1995, has quickly positioned itself among the leading enterprises in Sicily, is made on the slopes and lava soils of Mount Etna. ‘1614’ commemorates the date of Mount Etna’s longest eruption, which lasted almost 10 years, with the lava flow stopping right here in the district of Sciaranuova. The relics of this past can be seen today in the historic dwellings which have been restored by Azienda Planeta with complete respect for the pedoclimatic environment. The estate is located on the northern slope of Etna. This dark territory is rich in the remains of diverse lava flows along with ash and organic matter which enrich the soil. The land reaches 800 metres above sea level, giving the wine added freshness and minerality on the palate. Once harvested, the grapes are refrigerated at 8 degrees Celsius and are then pressed. They remain in stainless steel tanks on the lees until the March of the following year. Eruzione 1614 is a charismatic blend: it is produced from 90% Carricante grapes with a hint of the Riesling variety (10%). To the eye, this wine is a deceptively soft yellow, with its full complexity opening on the nose and then on the palate: A trip to Etna! A burst of freshness! Combined with notes of citrus, chamomile, broom, and green apple, accompanied with the minerality which characterises this territory. This white wine is ideal for enjoying with freshly caught fish and raw shellfish, and perfect with an aperitif or to accompany a seafood pasta dish enjoyed with friends. Read more Read less
THE WINERY

Planeta

In the heart of Tuscany, a few kilometres away from Florence, lies the Cantina Podere Fortuna and its acres of native crops. This small and important farm stands out among the hills of Mugello, on the southern slope of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. This area boasts a very special microclimate, much exploited by the company in the production of Tuscan wines of the highest quality. The Cantina boasts about thirty hectares of land between the Sieve River area and the foothills: this area in particular boasts a cooler climate than other parts of Tuscany, and the vines raised here are cared for with the utmost respect for its unique characteristics. The study of the most innovative techniques, combined with a great awareness of local traditions, has ensured that the winery has established itself as one of the most interesting wineries in the entire region. Among its major productions is monovarietal Pinot Noir. Name and address of producer/distributor: Podere Fortuna - Località S. Giusto a Fortuna, 7, 50038 San Giusto A Fortuna (FI). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
