Animalucente is an Etna Bianco DOC whose story centres on the light and minerality of the Etna area, evoking the essence of the northern slope, a place where sunlight blends with the iridescent glow of volcanic rocks and the white of winter snow.

The name itself, ‘Animalucente’, refers to the unique brightness reflected on the volcanic soils of Contrada Santo Spirito, in Passopisciaro, where the centuries-old Carricante and rare Minnella grape varieties are grown exclusively as bush vines on black lava stone terraces. Heroic viticulture, where man goes beyond his limits, produces a sulphurous, savoury and vertical wine that brings together all the charms of a natural landscape that stretches from the slopes to the summit of Mount Etna. A perfect fusion between heaven and earth.
