Etna is a perpetually active volcano that never stops, so the terroir is virgin, primordial, visceral, and in constant change.
ETNA
D.O.C.
From the end of the 1800s to the beginning of the 1900s, the Etna area produced approximately 100 million liters of wine using exclusively palmenti.
Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante, Catarratto, Minnella, and what about those gnarly vines?

Salvo Foti

The Etna I would want for the future is alive my memory. A memory nostalgic and poignant, that crosses all the senses. The more intense the emotion, the more it remains indelible.
