The vines were planted to a half hectare, north-facing nook within Contrada Volpare just before the ravine on the edge of Contrada Praino. The vines were planted in 2016 on dry, lava stone wall terraces surrounded by forest at about 700 metres above sea level. The grapes are harvested by hand in early October then taken to the cellar and left in the press at low temperature for 3 hours. The whole bunches are then softly pneumatic-pressed with 90% of the must fermented in French oak tonneaux of 500 litres and 10% in stainless steel. After fermentation the wine is aged on fine lees in tank for 8 months before bottling. Malo-lactic fermentation is not carried out.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e“Extremely aromatic with wildflowers and spearmint as well as fresh thyme. Medium-bodied, vivid and bright with a lovely length and energy. Lots of dried fruit. Tangy and flavorful. Bitter-dried lemons at the end. Drink now.”\u003c\/em\u003e (2024) 94 points - James Suckling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The 2022 Catarratto opens in the glass with a pretty array of white flowers, stone dust and lemon sorbet. It's round and soothing on the palate, with ripe orchard fruits and sweet inner florals that swirl above a tactile mineral grip. The 2022 finishes with a sour citrus concentration that both puckers the cheeks and keeps the mouth watering for more. A hint of green melon persists through the finale.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e - Eric Guido, Vinous\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFor a deeper dive visit their producer page \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Maugeri Etna Bianco Superiore, La Carta Wine\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lacartawine.com\/cantine-maugeri\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDiscover more wines from Cantina Maugeri \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mountainandrow.com.au\/collections\/maugeri-etna-bianco-superiore-mineral-white-wine-superstars-from-mount-etna\" title=\"Cantina Maugeri\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mountainandrow.com.au\/collections\/maugeri-etna-bianco-superiore-mineral-white-wine-superstars-from-mount-etna\" title=\"Cantina Maugeri\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/4871\/0536\/files\/Maugeri-Wines-Landscape.jpg?v=1740357440\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"La Carta Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48237034766491,"sku":"24MAUCAT","price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/4871\/0536\/files\/Maugeri-Etna-Bianco-Terre-Siciliane-IGT-Catarratto-2024.jpg?v=1775092843","url":"https:\/\/www.mountainandrow.com.au\/products\/maugeri-etna-bianco-terre-siciliane-igt-catarratto-2024","provider":"Mountain \u0026 Row","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
