Sicily, on the slopes of Mount Etna, produces Etna Doc.
He treats his vineyards according to the rhythms of nature, following a green philosophy based on copper and sulphur, enriching the soil with the sowing of field beans and lupin.
A good oenologist lets the wine speak above all of its territory, explores its thousand faces, follows its development, growth, change. This is how Piero, together with his daughter, loves to produce wine: his, he likes to remind us, are 'contrada' wines, made exclusively from indigenous grapes, harvested by hand.
A production, that of Cuore di Marchesa, that will never reach large numbers, but will always be of great quality. Read more
