About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from vineyards on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna. The vines average 100–120 years old and grow in volcanic soils rich in minerals. The local microclimate features pronounced differences between daytime and nighttime temperatures.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested entirely by hand in mid-October and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine first rests in stainless-steel vats and is then aged in bottle.

Tasting profile

Rich and deep, with pronounced minerality and fragrant aromas.

Label / history

Production does not exceed 18,000 bottles.
