From this winery
  • Start up year: 2007
  • Oenologist: Alessandro Benedetto, Jacopo Maniaci
  • Bottles produced: 80.000
  • Hectares: 15
From the beginning, Tentua di Fessina’s desire was to create "a place of beauty, between earth and spirit", rather than a cellar in the strict sense in which people, skills and energies could converge and in turn merge to enrich the intangible heritage of the Estate, made up of professional and human relationships, exchanges and ideas around the culture of wine and good living.

The project took shape in 2007 when the Tuscan producer Silvia and her husband Roberto purchased an old Nerello Mascalese vineyard dating back to the last century. Read more

Origin Milo, Contrada Caselle
Climate Altitude: 900 m. a.s.l. Exposure: East.
Soil composition Milo, on the eastern side of Etna is the homeland for Carricante grapes, often lashed by strong rainfalls has the highest rain percentage around the whole island. The soil composition is complex with extreme pedo-climatic conditions, which if expertly supported are able to give unique wines for taste and longevity. The soil, made by centuries of the volcanic activity, has several layers of minerals and salts, pumice, lapilli, fine and light ash. This terroir, that has a subacid reaction, is particularly fertile and able to produce a very high total acidity. Here the Carricante finds its pure and typical expression. The unique conditions, in fact, allows to grow grapes at incredibly high altitudes, with a great late-ripening and aging potential.
