Origins and Quality

This extraordinary wine is produced with 90% Nerello Mascalese and 10% Nerello Mantellato/Capuccio grapes, sourced from vineyards located on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, in the Calderara district of Randazzo, at an altitude of 650 meters above sea level. Here, the volcanic, rocky, dry soil rich in minerals imparts a unique personality and unforgettable character to the wine. The vineyards, cultivated on trellises with high planting density, ensure a yield of 50 quintals per hectare, allowing for meticulous selection of the best grapes.

Winemaking

The winemaking process involves maceration with the skins for 12/15 days at controlled temperatures, followed by refinement in steel tanks. This careful process allows for optimal extraction of the distinctive characteristics of the grapes while preserving the wine’s elegance and balance.
