Carranco was born from the meeting of Borgogno and Tornatore, a blend of history, experience, and authentic Ethnean roots.
The vineyards are located on the volcano's northern flank, and only traditional methods of vinification are used. It only grows native vines, primarily Nerello Mescalese, Nerello Cappuccio, and Carricante, which are the purest expressions of Etna, and it is from the volcanic soils that they draw the power, strength, and explosiveness of each eruption.

| Story | Here we are located in a special area of our estate, in "Contrada Carranco" where we have selected a vineyard to be produced individually. We have in fact identi ed the even more suitable area of the district, in the plot further north, in the middle of the basalt rocks. e peculiarity is that there is an old vineyard that is unique: they are bush training vines planted on small terraces. |
