Alcohol: 13%

Grape(s): 80% Carricante and 20% Catarratto

Localization: Etna, Sicily, Italy

Tasting Notes: The nose has the tang of lemon, jasmine and ocean air, but also a balancing, round note of yellow apples that swells on the palate to contrast with an intriguing sour peach flavor and a fizzier citrus element. An acidic, nutty finish leaves a lingering warmth on the tongue.

Notes: No irrigation. Harvest absolutely by hand as the tradition wants. Best grapes selected by hand. Destemming and light crushing of the grapes, soft pressing (65 % extraction ), alcoholic fermentation in steel vats. Aging in stainless steel vats for about 8/10 months in contact with fine lees, not frequently batonnage. after bottling minimum 6/8 months in the bottle.

Food pairing: Ideal with shellfish, raw fish or preparations with more intense flavors, fresh and semi-aged cheeses.

The Domain: The winery takes the name from the train track of the "Circum Etnea". A little train that passes through the vineyards. Tenuta means "estate", Ferrata "train track". Our logo is the Etna viewed from above with the train track lane.

Tenuta Ferrata is not just a vineyard, it is the celebration of a family that believes in hard work and sacrifice, and that continues to pass down its deepest values, lending high value to its land and to Sicily trough one of the oldest and most meaningful fruits: the grape. The vineyard is a symbol of rebirth and longevity, and this is how the Virlinzi family has given life to an estate that represents the culmination of an adventure lasting over a hundred years. His passion is fuelled by another great force: Etna, a symbol of energy, vitality and unpredictability, the emblem of those Sicilians who turn their gaze towards "La Muntagna" every day. It is this combination of family, environment and technology that brings to life the excellent Etna Doc wines.
