Where volcanic and Mediterranean wines come from
Our vineyards are located on the northern slope of Etna, between 730 m and 750 m a.s.l., an area characterized by little rainfall and cool and breezy summers, which contributes to producing healthy grapes.
The "sciare"
Footprints of history imprinted on the wines
With its eruptions, Etna produces “sciare”, lava flows which, through long physico-chemical processes, give life to fertile and cultivable soils. Each sciara gives specific characteristics to the soil, making the wines from this micro-territory unique.
Mountain viticulture
A wise interaction among soils, microclimates and vines
On Etna we grow native varieties that are representative of the area: Carricante, Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. The vineyards are bordered by terraces and drystone walls made of lavic stone (UNESCO World Heritage Status), alternating the espalier system of vine training with that of the Etna alberello. Thanks to an extreme balance among the vineyard and the winery, the Etna wines are characterized by a distinct mineral taste and elegance.
