Al Cantara Occhi Di Ciumi Etna Blanco

Art and poetry meet white wine in this Sicilian blend

The wine is a crystal-clear straw yellow. Its initial aromatic complexity, with intense floral and tropical fruit scents, is striking on the nose. In the mouth, it is fresh, ample, and has good balance.

Al-Cantara was born from the intuition that a good wine is "poetry”, and it is an "art" to make it. Right from the outset, the winery has established a national and international reputation thanks to its high-quality wines, recognized by several important awards. This culminated in the remarkable achievements at Vinitaly.    

The winery takes its name from the river that, on the slopes of Mount Etna, laps Contrada Feudo S. Anastasia in Randazzo, close to Al-Cantara's land and cellars. The name "Al-Cantàra," which means "bridge" in Arabic, is meant to emphasize the link with Sicily and symbolizes the harmonious and innovative combination of wine, art and poetry that is the winery's hallmark. Not surprisingly, the names of the wines are inspired by poems by Sicilian authors.
