The 2024 Vivera "Altrove" Terre Siciliane IGP is a vibrant organic white blend of Catarratto, Chardonnay and Insolia from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. Produced by the family-owned Vivera estate, the wine is certified organic and crafted to showcase the freshness, purity and mineral character of its unique terroir. Cool fermentation in stainless steel preserves the bright fruit and aromatic lift, resulting in a beautifully balanced and expressive Mediterranean white.
The nose reveals aromas of lemon zest, white peach and green apple alongside delicate white flowers, Mediterranean herbs and hints of wet stone. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with lively citrus and orchard fruit flavours supported by vibrant acidity and a subtle saline mineral edge. Elegant and well-balanced, it finishes clean and persistent with impressive freshness and purity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A wonderfully versatile Sicilian white that delivers exceptional value and character. Its bright acidity and mineral freshness make it a perfect match for grilled seafood, calamari, fresh pasta, Mediterranean salads, roast chicken and soft cheeses. Serve well chilled and enjoy now through 2028 while its vibrant fruit and coastal freshness are at their best.
