Terre Siciliane

White

It's not permitted currently to bottle a pas dosé style of sparkling wine under the Etna DOC, so Firriato label this as Terre Siciliane IGT instead. Spending more than 60 months on the lees, and incorporating some base wine from previous vintages, it has a rich aroma of brioche, orange peel and grapefruit, with a hint of red fruits. In the mouth it's salty, mineral, creamy and doughy, with fresh green and red fruits. The mousse is well integrated, giving a lovely softness of texture, and there's great balance to be found as the richness of the wine counters its lack of dosage perfectly.
