Founded 1877. The Gangemi family has traded wine on Etna since 1877, beginning as winegrowers and merchants before operating as a family winery. Fourth generation Marco Gangemi manages a modern cantina in the heart of Passopisciaro. In the historic port town of Riposto, the company operates a wine shop in a building that was once a scanno — a traditional establishment where patrons could rest and drink wine. The cellar uses chestnut as a regular part of its aging scheme and also serves as an incubator for new wineries. 49 hectares across five contrade: Passopisciaro, Feudo di Mezzo, San Lorenzo, Biancavilla, and Paterno.
