Tenuta Ferrata Ceneris Etna Bianco 2023
Tenuta Ferrata Ceneris Etna Bianco 2023 is a crisp, mineral-driven white from Sicilyâs storied volcanic slopes, uniting the freshness of Carricante and Catarratto with the regionâs signature energy. Produced by a passionate family estate harnessing Etnaâs wild spirit, and already drawing high praise, it stands out as a compelling choice for lovers of terroir-driven Mediterranean whites.
Taste
This vibrant Sicilian white - principally Carricante with a dash of Catarratto - pours a straw yellow with green nuances. On the nose, look for aromas of green apple, white peach, and fresh aromatic herbs. The palate is marked by a pleasant, energetic freshness, with a mineral core that speaks to the volcanic soils of Mount Etna. Lively acidity meets inviting fruit flavours, making it extremely food friendly - ideal with shellfish, sushi, or creamy cheeses.
Producer
Tenuta Ferrata is a family-run estate on the foothills of Mount Etna, named after the âCircum Etneaâ - the railway line traversing their vineyards. The Virlinzi family turned a centuries-old farming tradition into a wine producing passion, focusing on artisanal methods and respect for their unique terroir. Their mission reflects ârebirth and longevity,â harnessing the energy and unpredictability of Etna itself. They blend tradition with modern techniques, cultivating sustainable vineyards at notable altitude in Castiglione di Sicilia, a zone revered for expressive Etna DOC wines.
Awards & Critic Scores
While specific international awards for the 2023 vintage are still trickling in, previous releases have scored well with critics. For the 2023 release, Wine Enthusiast awarded 92 points, lauding its balance of roundness and distinctive Etna citrus-mineral zip. The wineâs popularity continues to rise on Vivino, where similar recent vintages receive high marks (typically above 4/5), reflecting strong consumer appreciation for freshness and personality.
