From the fortunate insight that a good wine is \u201cpoetry\u201d and requires \u201cart\u201d to create, Al-Cant\u00e0ra was founded in 2005. The company quickly established itself both nationally and internationally, thanks to the exceptional quality of its wines, recognized by various prestigious awards and, most recently, the outstanding results achieved at Vinitaly, where with eight wines featured in 5 StarWines \u2013 The Book, Al-Cant\u00e0ra was crowned \u201cWinery of the Year \u2013 Gran Vinitaly 2023\u201d.<\/p>\n
A sophisticated and modern packaging is another distinctive feature of Al-Cant\u00e0ra’s products, with their unmistakable labels enriched by evocative representations by young Sicilian artists, including the recent Annachiara Di Pietro, who celebrate the traditions, culture, and landscape of Mount Etna.<\/p>\n
The winery takes its name from the river that flows along the slopes of Mount Etna, skirting the Feudo S. Anastasia district in Randazzo, where its vineyards and cellars are located. The name \u201cAl-Cant\u00e0ra\u201d, meaning \u201cbridge\u201d in Arabic, highlights the connection to Sicilian land and symbolizes the harmonious and innovative combination of wine, art, and poetry that defines the company\u2019s hallmark. It\u2019s no coincidence that the names of the wines are inspired by poems by Sicilian authors such as Nino Martoglio, Luigi Pirandello, Micio Tempio, Giovanni Meli, Alfio Antico, Salvatore Di Pietro, Francesco Guglielmino, Ercole Patti, Antonio Veneziano, and Giovanni Verga.<\/p>\n
The winery currently covers approximately 20 hectares.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Al-Cant\u00e0ra Occhi di Ciumi Etna Bianco is a Sicilia DOC produced with Carricante and Grecanico grapes, cultivated in the Randazzo area. After fermentation at low temperatures, it ages in steel tanks for 6 months and then for 3 months in the bottle.<\/p>\n
Visually, it shows a clear straw yellow color; on the nose, it reveals tropical notes and yellow-fleshed fruits; on the palate, it is fresh with good sapidity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":731,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[207,206],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1432","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-artisanal","7":"product_cat-white-wines","8":"pa_cantina-al-cantara","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
