SRC Vini - Etna Bianco, Sicily, Italy (2023)

TASTING NOTES

Crisp, mineral, flinty and focused with beautiful creaminess on the palate, this Bianco is a textural sensation along with citrus, herbs, and smoke.

35–80-year-old vines in Contrada Crasà and Calderara Sottana at 650m. The volcanic sands and ripiddu stones give a salty backbone, while 12 hours on skins and fermentation in cement bring texture. 

SRC’s story only began in 2012 —remarkably recent for a region steeped in centuries of winemaking tradition. With no family history in the craft, they represent a new wave of Etna producers who have emerged as the volcano’s vineyards have multiplied over the last two decades. 

The name SRC comes from the initials of its founders—Rori, Cinzia, and their daughter Sandra—a symbol of family and a shared passion for their land. The journey began in Randazzo when Rori bought a small vineyard as a gift for Cinzia, who immediately fell in love with it. From that first plot, their estate grew to 12 hectares of  biodynamically farmed vineyards.
