Etna Bianco Aitho

Fondo Antico is a family-owned Sicilian winery founded in 1995 by Giuseppe Polizzotti on the historic Polizzotti-Scuderi estate near Trapani, where the family has cultivated land since the early 1800s. The estate planted its first vineyards around 1920 and gradually evolved into a modern winery focused on expressing western Sicily’s terroir through both native grapes. With around 80 hectares of vineyards overlooking the Egadi Islands, Fondo Antico combines traditional Sicilian viticulture with modern winemaking, emphasizing sustainability, low-intervention vineyard practices, and freshness-driven wines that highlight the saline, Mediterranean character of the region.

Aitho Bianco is a fresh, aromatic Sicilian white wine that shows a bright straw-yellow color with greenish reflections. On the nose it offers clean and expressive aromas of citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, along with green apple, white peach, and delicate floral notes of orange blossom and jasmine. The palate is crisp and lively, with good acidity and a subtle saline character that reflects its coastal Sicilian origin. It finishes refreshing and elegant, with lingering citrus and mineral tones.
