Gaudensius Blanc de Blancs Etna DOC

Terroir and wine-making

In vineyards located in the IGT Sicilian Lands in two selected areas of Sicily, the Carricante and Chardonnay grapes that make up the blend of Gaudensius Blanc de Blancs are born. Firriato applies the Metodo Classico to produce a brut sparkling wine that represents the perfect synthesis of the two terroirs. The soft pressing of whole grapes is followed by a temperature controlled fermentation and a refermentation in bottle. The process ends with a 32-month bottle aging phase in the presence of yeasts that sets the organoleptic qualities.
