Palmento Bianco - Anna Martens

Palmento Bianco - Anna Martens

Palmento Bianco is obtained from a blend of native white grapes. The harvest is manual in the middle of September. Fermentation is spontaneous in steel tanks without temperature control. Refine on the fine lees for 8 months before bottling without clarification or filtration. Palmento Bianco is straw-yellow in color. On the nose the intense aromas recall the yellow berry fruit, with citrus and mineral notes. At the sip it is catchy, fresh, very savory, with an excellent finish.

Service

It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 8/10 ° in Tulip glasses. Daily wine.

Pairing

Palmento Bianco goes perfectly with the wonderful dishes of Sicilian cuisine, to try with a pasta dish with swordfish and mint.

The cellar: Anna Martens

Anna Martens is a young oenologist of Australian origin, who after her degree in oenology decides to travel the world until she reaches Italy and finds her first job at the Tenute dell'Ornellaia and then at Passopisciaro, a company located on Mount Etna. And it is during this period that falls hopelessly in love with this area and decides to come to settle permanently in Sicily with her husband Eric Narioo, founder of Les Caves de Pyrene. Anna begins her experiments, made of spontaneous fermentations, long macerations and refinements in amphora, until she manages to get her natural wine that she was looking for and desired. Its vineyards are all grown as a small tree, are micro plots that are located near Solicchiata, on the steep slopes of Mount Etna. Anna cultivates only native Sicilian vines; Nerelo Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante and Alicante. Today Anna's work is recognized everywhere so much that many young people come to her cellar to learn the processing methods.
