WINE MAKING PROCESS
Anselmo Bianco is produced using a natural winemaking approach. Grapes are sourced from Alcamo, Sicily, and undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The winemaking process is non-interventionist, with minimal to no added sulfites and no clarification or filtration. This method aims to preserve the wine's natural character and express the unique terroir of the Alcamo region, contrasting with Etnella's typical Etna-based wines.
