I Custodi Aedes Etna Bianco (2025)
Wine Tasting Notes
Aedes is a bright, pale-gold Etna Bianco with lemon, lime, green apple and white flowers over herbal and volcanic-stone notes. Taut and crisp, the palate is carried by vibrant acidity and a fine saline thread. Its refreshing, mineral finish is perfect with grilled fish, crudo or Sicilian caponata.
Winery/Producer Highlights
I Custodi delle Vigne dell'Etna — I Custodi delle Vigne dell'Etna, 'the guardians of Etna's vines,' was founded by Mario Paoluzi to protect and revive old vineyards on the volcano's slopes. The estate farms ancient alberello bush vines on volcanic sands, many of them ungrafted, using organic methods. Aedes is crafted mainly from Carricante with a touch of Minnella and other native white grapes.
