Federico Curtaz's Etna Bianco DOC "Gamma" is a testament to the exceptional terroir of Sicily's Mount Etna. This cuvée, crafted from rigorously selected Carricante grapes, a native variety, showcases the region's unique volcanic character.  A pale straw hue with green tinges hints at its freshness. The aromatic profile is complex, revealing green apple, pear, white blossoms, and subtle herbal notes, all underscored by Etna's signature minerality. On the palate, the wine balances vibrant acidity with a structured body, echoing the aromas with added mineral and saline nuances that cleanse the finish. Elegant and persistent, it's ideal as an aperitif or paired with delicate seafood and fresh cheeses.  Fermented at controlled temperatures and aged in stainless steel, the wine retains Carricante's fresh, varietal purity, demonstrating Curtaz's masterful interpretation of Etna's terroir. This is a compelling choice for those seeking a sophisticated Sicilian white wine.
