From this winery
  • Start up year: 1865
  • Oenologist: Angelo Di Grazia
  • Bottles produced: 350.000
  • Hectares: 72
Founded in 1865 by Francesco Tornatore’s great-grandfather, the winery has carried on a winemaking tradition rooted in the fertile lands of Etna for more than 150 years. In 1910 grandfather Giuseppe consolidated the family business by building a palmento in contrada Piano Fiera, marking the beginning of an expansion that would encompass other valuable land on Etna’s northern slope. Our deep knowledge of the land, enriched by decades of experience and passed from generation to generation, allows us today to look to the future with the certainty of those who have always known how to respect the land and its traditions, continuing our commitment to excellence and innovation in the world of wine.

Origin Castiglione di Sicilia (Catania).
Cultivation system Spurred cordon.
Yield per hectare 6,000 kg/hectare.
Harvest By hand, the second and third decade of October with small crates. The grapes then undergo manual sorting at the winery.
Wine making Destemmed and not fully crushed, the grapes are sent into truncated conical wooden vats, where they macerate for about 10 2 days at a temperature of 22-25°C. Manual punching-down is carried out several times a day on the macerating grapes with a pneumatic punching-down machine. Once fermentation is complete, the grapes are left to macerate for a few more days, after which they are drawn off and pressed using a traditional vertical press. The wine thus obtained rests, in 25-hl barrels, for 18 months before being bottled.
Aging 18 months in wooden barrels and concrete tanks and 6 months in the bottle.
Allergens Contains sulphites
