Description
The high acidity, low colour concentration and many other elements from the terroir make these grapes very suitable for producing sparkling wines made with the Classic Method. We obtain a wine with great personality and structure that boasts the primacy of having been the first sparkling wine made from Nerello Mascalese grapes.

Currently the vineyards have an extension of 60 hectares, distributed in the three different estates of San Michele (CT), Gelso Bianco (CT) and La Francescana (RM) and are mostly dedicated to the production of VSQ, Etna Doc and IGT wines. From some grape varieties of French origin, we also get interesting creative wines. The total production of our cellar amounts to 350,000 bottles.
Another 60 hectares are dedicated to the cultivation of olive and citrus trees, from which we obtain our Extra Virgin Olive Oils, Murgo jams and other local quality products. Read more
