Description
A' Puddara is a wine dedicated to Sicily. Like the Seven Sisters in the sky it is a small continent with a beating heart in the middle of the Medittanean sea. A' Puddara, like in the Ovidio poem, means hen, mothering woman for fisherman and peasant; a sign to show the way, to direct their lives. If you imagine a fisherman coming home, you will see him looking up at the volkano, where he finds the seven sisters exactly where the carricante Vineyard is. It is a rigorous and outlined wine, like the Mount Etna rising up in the night.

Pioneer and women – among the producers who have given new impetus to enology on Etna, Silvia Maestrelli – comes from a Florentine entrepreneurial family, she emigrated to Milan for love – arrived on Etna in 2006, on the trail of falling in love with this land rich in contrasts. A real coup de foudre for a difficult land, strongly masculine, but of enormous charm and equally great enological potential. Thus began a new phase for her life and a research, both personal and professional, which will give life in 2007 – after long and detailed negotiations with the ancient and numerous landowners – at the birth of Tenuta di Fessina. A project in which the sensitivity of a “feminine” oenological vision, combined with the unquestioned technical skills of consultants and collaborators, has allowed us to create in just 10 years from the foundation – one of the most successful and recognizable cellars in the Etna area, perfect ambassador in the world of new Sicilian viticulture.
