Firriato 'Le Sabbie dell'Etna' Etna Bianco DOC

Federico Lombardo di Monte Iato, Marketing & Communications Manager of Firriato, tells us about Le Sabbie dell’Etna Bianco, a symbol of the freshness and minerality of the Volcano.

It is a white wine from a blend of Carricante (about 90%) and Catarratto (10%), the two native white grape varieties of Etna grown within the districts owned by Firriato.
