From this winery
  • Start up year: 2007
  • Oenologist: Carlo Ferrini
  • Bottles produced: 70.000
  • Hectares: 20
Pietradolce was set up in 2005, and is located in Solicchiata, a hamlet in the municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia, on the North-Eastern slope of Etna. The vineyard covers 10 hectares, between 600 and 800 metres above sea level, and is divided into 3 plots, each in a different district: Marchesa, Moganazzi, and Chiusa Spagnolo.

The vineyard soils are of a sandy-loam nature, with an abundant presence of skeleton and mineral elements - a generous gift from Etna's volcano - that give the wines unique characteristics.

The choice was made to cultivate only native Etna vines, bred for the most part in the traditional alberello form. A choice derived from the profound conviction that this is what the territory requires. Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio and Carricante are and will be the main protagonists of the Pietradolce story. Read more
