something

We considered a indigenous Etnean winegrowers. We have been working for more than 30 years on Etna area. Our traditional work in the vineyard and winery has always been supported by small innovations, as well as by an anthropological, technical and historical research on the territory, all aimed at excellence. We use non-invasive tools and methods, with the utmost respect for tradition and our ancient vineyards. The basic spirit is the search for harmony, an organic approach, without rushing and forcing nature, in synch with what surrounds us: the Environment and Mount Etna, of which we feel part, not above or beyond. The production philosophy is: “Human wines produced by People for People with respect for People and the Environment”. The vineyards are located in three different areas of the Volcano and at different altitudes, in order to cultivate each indigenous grape in the specific place where it was selected or introduced in ancient times. Our winery is an ancient Etnean Palmento in lava stone from 1840 where – as it has always been done on Etna – we produce our wine with the indigenous yeasts and without technologies.
