Tornatore Zottorinotto Etna Bianco 2024

Tornatore Zottorinotto Etna Bianco 2024 is a dry Carricante from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, offering a distinctive expression of one of Sicily’s signature white grapes. Made by a family-run winery with roots in the area dating to 1865, it combines the freshness and mineral character of its volcanic origin with a measured, oak-aged texture.

Tasting Notes
The wine is straw yellow with bright golden reflections. Its expressive aromas bring together vanilla and honey with broom blossom and ripe yellow peach. On the palate, it is complex and composed, with a pronounced savoury salinity and a persistent finish that reflects its volcanic origins.

Production
The vineyards lie on Etna’s northern slopes around Castiglione di Sicilia, where deep volcanic soils contribute to the wine’s mineral character. The vines are organically farmed and trained using spur-pruned Guyot; the grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected. After destemming and gentle pressing, the must ferments spontaneously in acacia barrels without temperature control. The wine then spends eight months on fine lees, followed by eight months of maturation in the same barrels and a further six months of rest.

Food & Serving
Serve at 10–12°C with fish dishes, seafood or flavourful cheeses. Decanting is not essential; opening the bottle shortly before serving will give its aromas time to unfold.

Producer
Cantine Tornatore has worked the volcanic soils around Castiglione di Sicilia since 1865. Its long-standing connection to Etna informs a range of wines shaped by the region’s distinctive terrain and local grape varieties. For this bottling, the winery gives Carricante and its volcanic origins centre stage.
