Azienda Agricola Sofia Gioacchino Terre Siciliane Bianco IGP 2022

Gioacchino Terre Siciliane Bianco IGP is a medium-bodied organic white from the north side of Mount Etna, made from 90% Carricante with Catarratto, Minnella and Inzolia making up the rest.

Siblings Carmelo and Valentina Sofia run this small family estate in Solicchiata, on Etna's northern slopes, and released their first vintage in 2017. Their roughly 3 hectares of organically farmed vines were pieced together from 1980 by their father, Gioacchino, in Contrada Piano dei Daini, and the wines are made with natural, low-intervention methods. This white comes from a 60-year-old vineyard on volcanic soil; it has two days on skins, ferments naturally in used tonneaux and is aged first in tonneau, then in stainless steel.

Serve at 10–12°C. It goes well with grilled swordfish, pasta with pistachio or seafood, and fresh sheep's milk cheese.
