Masseria Setteporte, a distinguished winery, finds its home on the southwestern slope of the Sicilian volcano Etna, nestled in the town of Biancavilla within the revered Etna D.O.C. area. The viticulture in this region traces its roots back to ancient times. Passed down through generations, the Portale family, owners of Masseria Setteporte, uphold a rich winemaking tradition.
The vineyards, carefully tended by the family, thrive on south-facing terraces at elevations ranging between 650 and 800 meters. Here, the distinctive combination of volcanic soil, elevated altitudes, and the quintessential Mediterranean climate creates a truly exceptional habitat, yielding wines that boast both elegance and an alluring aroma profile, while offering remarkable drinkability.
As a certified organic winery, Masseria Setteporte embraces sustainable practices to produce wines of exceptional quality. Made from native varieties Catarratto Bianco and Carricante, the wine itself presents a captivating straw-yellow hue with subtle green tinges. Its intense and fruity bouquet is enticing, featuring delightful notes of Sicilian apple, lime, acacia, and oregano. Upon tasting, the wine reveals a dry character complemented by citrus flavours, showcasing a balanced acidity and a refined finish. Its minerality, though less overt than some counterparts from the same region, adds to the wine's distinctive charm.
This remarkable wine is an ideal companion for various dishes, making it a perfect match for fish, shellfish, prawns, non-seasoned cheeses, and white meat dishes.
