Tenute Bosco
Etna Bianco 2022
Etna DOC
Tenute Bosco’s Etna Bianco is pleasantly persistent, with an appropriate balance of acidity and minerality. The wine is a careful selection of historical indigenous varieties from the vineyards of two contradas – Piano dei Daini and Santo Spirito.
Vineyard
Bush trained vines sourced from between the contradas of Piano dei Daini and Santo Spirito on the northern side of Etna. Average altitude between 600 – 700m, with sandy and volcanic soils.
Winemaking
Light press to avoid over-extraction. Temperature controlled fermentation between for at least 10 days. Stainless steel vats for 4 months, keeping the fine lees in suspension.
Tasting Note
A balanced bouquet of white peaches and honeysuckle compose the front of the palate, with zesty citrus following before a surprisingly long finish of soft herbs and wet stone.

Etna Vico Rosso
Etna DOC
Vico expresses all of its potential from a unique and ancient terroir on Mt Etna, being sourced. It comes from one of the very few parcels in the contrada Santo Spirito that were not covered by the lava flow of 1879.
Etna Rosso
Etna DOC
The Etna Rosso is a careful selection of Nerello Mascalese (90%) and Nerello Cappuccio (10%) from Piano dei Daini, an old contrada in the town of Solicchiata. The palate expresses harmonious layers of fresh cherries, dewy earth and salted licorice, with a typically-Etna backbone of invigorating minerality.
