IDDA is the Gaja family’s thoughtful collaboration on Etna, showcasing Sicily’s volcanic terroir through precise craftsmanship and a distinctly elegant expression. The vineyards for IDDA Bianco are located in Biancavilla, on the southwest slope of Etna Volcano, and in Belpasso, on the southern slope one. The soils of Biancavilla are lighter in color and are among the oldest of all Etna. The soils of Belpasso are more porous and darker in color, with volcanic rocks. The wine is aged for 6 to 9 months in both oak and stainless steel.

Character
This wine shows wisteria, cantaloupe, and marzipan, with a clear citrus note. Hydrocarbon hints pop up to follow on the nose. This wine is complex with a firm texture, minerality, yet a vibrant acidity. It opens up on the palate with peach, passion fruit, and papaya notes. The oak is well integrated; the finish is crisp and lingering.
