Notes from the producer:

"AURORA , which also means dawn in Italian, here on Mt. Etna is the name of a small and graceful, native butterfly (painted on the label), currently at risk of extinction. All work in the vineyard is done by hand using natural products. Biotechnology and systemic methods are not used in winemaking. Transfer and bottling are carried out according to the phases of the moon. Contrada:  Caselle in the municipality of Milo – Eastern Etna at 750 m above sea level Plot: Aurora vineyard Varieties:  Carricante 90% – Minnella bianca 10%"

Additional Notes from Louis/Dressner:

"Aurora (which means dawn in Italian) is also the name of a small and graceful native butterfly that's currently at risk of extinction. These can often be spotted in the vines and inspired the wine's name and label."
