Terre Siciliane Bianco “Lato Sud” 2021

Lato Sud Carricante 2019 by Grottofumata is a bright, mineral-driven white wine from Sicily’s volcanic soils. Made primarily from Carricante, with a touch of Catarratto, this wine expresses the unique terroir of Mount Etna.

On the nose, it presents vibrant aromas of citrus fruits—think lemon zest and green apple—combined with subtle herbal notes and a touch of saline minerality. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with flavors of lemon, green melon, and a stony minerality that reflects the volcanic origins of the grapes. Its lively acidity and light body make for a beautifully balanced wine, finishing with a clean, almost salty note.

At 11% alcohol, this wine is elegant and refreshing without being overpowering, making it perfect for pairing with seafood, grilled vegetables, or light pasta dishes. Lato Sud Carricante 2019 offers a fresh, sophisticated expression of Sicily’s coastal and volcanic landscape, ideal for those who love wines with vibrant acidity and a sense of place.
