Fedegraziani "Mareneve" Terre Siciliane Bianco IGP 2020

GRAPE: Carricante blend

VINIFICATION: Spontaneous fermentation in steel vats with indigenous yeasts, no malolactic fermentation, refinement in steel for 12 months on fine lees, then 6 months of aging in bottle.

TASTING NOTES: The aroma is intense and lightly aromatic, with notes of fresh tropical fruit, pineapple, white peach, and litchi, white musk, rose, lemon granita, lava stone and salt. Harmonious to the palate, while extremely crisp, refined and sharp. It reminds of the freshness of the snow and salinity of the Mediterranean sea.

HOW AND WHEN: It’s fantastic to match with raw white fish dishes, seafood, oysters and wild asparagus. Serving at 10-12 C

“A passion that exceeds every limit.

Mareneve is the result of an idea as simple as it is bold, that of planting a vineyard at extreme altitude to ascertain how the vines react to cold climates and volcanic soil at high altitude.

I have always considered wine a sort of living thing: an element that changes to reflect our society and constantly evolve with it.

This is why I decided to try my hand at it myself, interpreting the vineyard in my own style. My goal was to create a connection between tradition and innovation and to help promote a time-honoured and irreplaceable craft.”
