Description
All started in 2021 with the Patos® project for Sondre Lerche through our Norwegian importer and friend Jørgen Ljøstadt, creating a price-quality white wine, more traditionally produced and based on mainly Cattaratto which I very much like, especially from my favorite winemaking areas for white wines in Sicily, Alcamo. The goal is to produce a lighter style wine with character and sapidity.

Our estate was established in 2001, when Etna as a wine region was still undiscovered. Our vineyards are located on the Northern valley of the active volcano Etna, in the oriental part of Sicily. The northern valley is considered today Etna’s top area for single-vineyard (contrada) red wines like the "Côtes-de-Nuits" in Burgundy or Piemonte’s "Barolo" area.
Our farming philosophy is based on our acceptance of the fact that man will never be able to understand nature’s full complexity and interactions. We therefore choose to concentrate on observing and learning the movements of Mother Earth in her various energetic and cosmic passages and prefer to follow her indications as to what to do, instead of deciding and imposing ourselves.
