Description

Tenuta di Fessina is a renowned wine producer located in the beautiful region of Sicily, Italy. With a rich history dating back centuries, this esteemed estate has become synonymous with excellence in winemaking. The winery is situated on the slopes of Mount Etna, an active volcano that provides a unique terroir for the cultivation of grapes.

The story of Tenuta di Fessina begins with the vision of Silvia Maestrelli, a passionate winemaker who fell in love with the enchanting landscapes of Mount Etna. Inspired by the volcanic soil and the cool climate, she set out to create wines that would truly reflect the character of this extraordinary region.

The style of production at Tenuta di Fessina is deeply rooted in tradition, yet embraces modern techniques to ensure the highest quality. The vineyards are meticulously cared for, with each vine receiving individual attention to ensure optimal growth and ripening. The grapes are hand-harvested at the peak of their maturity, allowing for the full expression of their unique flavors and aromas.

One of the standout wines produced by Tenuta di Fessina is the Erse Etna Bianco DOC. This white wine is crafted from a blend of indigenous grape varieties, including Carricante and Catarratto. The volcanic soil imparts a distinct minerality to the wine, while the cool climate preserves its vibrant acidity. The result is a beautifully balanced wine with delicate floral notes, citrus flavors, and a long, refreshing finish. Erse Etna Bianco DOC is a true reflection of the terroir and showcases the exceptional winemaking skills of Tenuta di Fessina.

In addition to Erse Etna Bianco DOC, Tenuta di Fessina produces a range of other exceptional wines. Their red wines, such as the Il Musmeci Etna Rosso DOC and the Laeneo Etna Rosso DOC, are crafted from the indigenous Nerello Mascalese grape variety. These wines are known for their elegance, complexity, and ability to age gracefully. With their fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and layers of red fruit flavors, they are a true representation of the volcanic terroir.

Tenuta di Fessina also produces a limited production wine called A'Puddara Etna Rosso DOC. This wine is

Tasting notes

91 Points - The wine Advocate

The Tenuta di Fessina 2019 Etna Bianco Erse is an entry-level expression of Carricante (and small percentages of Catarratto and Minnella) with a fresh and linear approach that drives this pretty wine clean over the palate. It imparts layers of white peach, crispy apple and honeydew melon. Salty mineral notes also come into view, making this a great bottle to enjoy with a fritto misto. About 10,000 bottles were released.
