The Encounter Between Etna's Altitude and the Sea Breeze: A White Wine of Structure and Sapidity
On the eastern slopes of Mount Etna, where the view stretches toward the Ionian Sea from San Giovanni Montebello, the historic vineyards of the century-old Baroni Scudero estate give life to a label with an exclusive run. The SediciDieci IGT Terre Siciliane is not a simple blend, but the liquid synthesis of a volcanic terroir that imbues the glass with striking mineral verticality, combined with aromatic elegance derived from its high altitude.
Ingredients and Taste Analysis
- 🌋 Volcanic Terroir and Very Low Yields: Volcanic soils, predominantly sandy, with a strict yield of only 50 quintals per hectare to maximize the concentration of aromatic compounds in the grapes.
- 🍇 Indigenous and International Blend: The perfectly balanced (50/50) union between the vigorous and sapid Sicilian Catarratto and the elegant Sauvignon Blanc, with grapes harvested strictly by hand in the month of October.
- 🧑🍳 Sur Lie and Bâtonnage Technique: To ensure structure, volume, and longevity on the palate, the wine is aged in steel in contact with the fine lees for four months, supported by continuous bâtonnage.
- 🍋 Complex Aromatic Spectrum: A nose that opens with vibrant citrus and floral notes, subsequently shifting toward ripe tropical fruit and delicate hints of Etna undergrowth. On the palate, well-integrated acidity (6.0 g/l) supports a taut, fresh sip with a long, sapid finish.

🍷 The Ambassador of Taste recommends:
To enhance the meticulous work done on the fine lees and the tropical complexity of the Sauvignon, I advise against serving this SediciDieci excessively cold. The ideal serving temperature is between 10 and 12°C. The perfect pairing? A slice of seared amberjack or a sea urchin risotto: the acidity and volcanic sapidity of this wine will cleanse the palate, leaving an infinite aromatic persistence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The introductory text mentions oak barrels, but the technical sheet mentions steel. How is it actually aged?
The producer's technical data is categorical: to preserve the freshness and pure minerality of the volcanic terroir, the 2021 SediciDieci matures exclusively in stainless steel tanks for nine months, without any contact with wood, completing the process with three months of rest in the bottle. The palate structure is provided solely by bâtonnage on the fine lees.
How do you ensure the integrity of the wine during shipping?
We use exclusively shock-proof EPS wine shippers, which, in addition to protecting the bottle from mechanical breakage, act as thermal insulation against temperature fluctuations during transit.
Is this a wine to drink now or can it be aged?
Thanks to its excellent acidity profile (pH 3.55) and resting on the lees, the SediciDieci possesses good evolutionary potential. If stored correctly, it can evolve elegantly in the glass, expressing more hydrocarbon and mature notes over the next 3-4 years.
