Vino di Anna Bianco 'Nave'

Bianco 'Nave' is Vino di Anna's expression of indigenous white varieties from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, showing what these grapes can do when they're grown at altitude on volcanic soils and handled with care. This is Etna white at its most honest and expressive – mineral-driven, fresh, and full of character.

Vino di Anna is a small, family wine estate situated on the north face of Mount Etna, Sicily. Anna Martens and Eric Narioo have been making natural wines together on Mount Etna for nearly 15 years. Today, with a team of locals, they cultivate organically eight hectares of terraced land by hand. They make a range of minimal intervention wines that focus on energy, respect for nature, and reflection of terroir.

Nave comes from organically grown indigenous white vines on the terraced vineyards high on the north face of Mount Etna. What you get is citrus, stone fruit, white flowers, volcanic minerality, and that characteristic bright acidity and freshness from the altitude and volcanic terroir. There's depth and texture here, but nothing feels heavy – the wine remains elegant and precise.

The winemaking is minimal intervention – spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, aging in neutral vessels, and bottling without fining or filtration. The result is a wine that's both distinctive and genuinely drinkable, showing the purity of fruit and volcanic terroir without interference.

Serve it well-chilled with seafood, grilled fish, pasta with light sauces, or fresh cheeses. This is honest, characterful Etna white from one of Sicily's most respected natural wine producers, perfect for those looking for something with real minerality and freshness.
