Pietradolce “Vigna Sant’Andrea” Bianco IGT
100% Carricante. Pietradolce “Vigna Sant’Andrea” Bianco IGT is a rich golden yellow, almost amber, with wonderful aromas, great structure, freshness, and minerality.
Vigna Sant’Andrea is made from grapes grown in a select parcel of the Archineri Etna Bianco vineyard. To make this unique wine, Pietradolce not only carefully chose the parcel of land, but each individual plant as well.
