Description
A rich and fragrant wine of pure Nerello Mascalese from different vineyards, partly from the best ones where we produce our Cru (Zottorinoto-Chiusa Spagnolo, Feudo di Mezzo-Porcaria, Pontale Palino) partly from those designated for this specific wine (Rampante, Piano Daini and Crasà). A classic, traditional Nerello Mascalese, with tannins and sweetness of ripe fruit. This represents my vision of a rich, generous, elegant and traditional wine from Etna's northern valley.

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.
