Grown on an outstanding vineyard at 860m elevation on Etna's northern slopes, this has delicate jasmine, lemongrass and green apple notes, with a crystalline clarity and purity. Bold and distinctive, yet effortlessly drinkable, it is a wine with an intense sense of place, derived in part from the unique and indigenous Carricante grape, and in part from the soils composed of airborne volcanic ash, over basalt bedrock.

Winemaking
From the Sciara Nuova vineyard at 850 metres elevation on Etna's northerly slopes. The grapes are soft pressed intact and not destemmed. The must is fermented at 15 °C for 20 days. The wine remains on the lees until the February after harvest, with periodic stirring.
Press Review
92/100 - Fresh, accessible and showing a salty side backed by peach and quince, the Planeta 2022 Sicilia Carricante Eruzione 1614 remains vibrant and fresh, fundamentally showing an easy entry to the palate and a bright personality. It closes fresh and is easy-drinking, making it a great aperitif choice. Drink 2025-2030.
Press Review
90/100 - Bottled under Sicilia DOC rather than Etna DOC due to the small amount of Riesling in the blend, this is always a very drinkable white offering a zesty sip very much on the citrus side of things, along with a floral character and some white peach and herbs. Lip-smacking sapidity completes the picture. From vines in Sciara Nuova at 870m above sea level on Etna's north slope.
