Case of 6 bottles of 2019 Anthemis Etna Bianco DOC 750ml
Giulia, Enrico and Benedetto started Monteleone in July 2017, after a long search to identify two hectares of old vineyard a few steps from the Alcantara river. At the foot of Mount Etna just under five hundred meters above sea level and less than fifty steps from the ancient Cuba of Santa Domenica, a Byzantine jewel of rare beauty, they found the perfect place to make their wine.
In the following years they have dedicated themselves to expand the company with new vineyards whose fruit will become the matrix of new wines. A story in the making, where the best is yet to come.
