With great determination and hard work, the couple revived abandoned vineyards at an altitude of 700-800 meters above sea level. Covering 8 hectares of land, Ampelon Etna Bianco strives to produce high-quality handcrafted wines that are capable of long aging and truly reflect the unique characteristics of the soil and the vintage. Barbara and Valter, who both live and work on the property, are aided by their loyal companions, Lilly and Tullio, two beautiful German Shepherd dogs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vineyards used for Ampelon Etna Bianco, 750ml have been carefully chosen for their ancient vines, some of which are over one hundred years old. Operating these vineyards takes a great deal of labor and meticulous attention to detail, as the vines are highly susceptible to disease. However, by utilizing environmentally-friendly methods and avoiding harmful chemicals, Ampelon is able to maintain the perfect balance that old vines produce. Although this method is costly, it ultimately results in a smaller yield per hectare, but with a higher quality of ripened grapes, leading to an exceptional level of flavor, structure, and refinement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eIn the cellar, Ampelon focuses on respecting the grapes after putting great effort into the vineyards. This allows for high quality even in difficult vintages. No additives are used in the must or wine, and only the cleanest and most precise methods are used, such as stainless steel and 36-month aged wood. Fermentation and aging take place in either stainless steel or wooden barrels, with a long maceration period and aging time of 12-24 months. The red wines Passo alle Sciare DOC and Sciaracauda Nerello Mascalese Sicilia IGT are only bottled after a thorough tasting process. The single vineyard Le Caldere is immediately aged in barriques after completing fermentation, while the Etna Bianco DOC is aged in stainless steel at controlled temperatures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType: \u003c\/strong\u003eWine, White, Organic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor: \u003c\/strong\u003eStraw yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sicilia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety: \u003c\/strong\u003e90\u003cstrong\u003e% \u003c\/strong\u003eCarricante, 10% Catarratto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e DOP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlc%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-06-23T16:17:48-04:00","created_at":"2022-12-02T12:49:34-05:00","vendor":"Ampelon","type":"Wine, White, Organic, Ampelon, Carricante, Catarratto, Sicilia, Italy","tags":["Country_Italy","Price_$20-$50","Type_Organic","Type_White","Type_Wine"],"price":3200,"price_min":3200,"price_max":3200,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44138545545508,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9QXPT0XR1NQ62","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Ampelon Etna Bianco, 750ml","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":3200,"weight":1451,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":11,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.grapeshotnyc.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1275317989.png?v=1670003869"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.grapeshotnyc.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1275317989.png?v=1670003869","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":32330194288932,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.278,"height":704,"width":196,"src":"\/\/www.grapeshotnyc.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1275317989.png?v=1670003869"},"aspect_ratio":0.278,"height":704,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.grapeshotnyc.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1275317989.png?v=1670003869","width":196}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFounded in 2009 by Barbara and Valter Grarotti, Ampelon Etna Bianco is made from the indigenous grape netello mascalese grown in the best vineyards located on the northern slope of the iconic Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy.
