About
Founded 2013 by Nunzio Puglisi and his daughters Stefany and Desiree. All vineyards on the north flank of Mount Etna. Over forty years the family developed an eclectic mix of cultivars managed completely by hand. Natural predators like ladybugs are attracted to spontaneous vegetation tilled into soil as green manure. Long grasses from the vineyard floor are used to train young shoots instead of plastic ties. Work is done daily year-round. Varieties include Nerello Mascalese, Pinot Nero, and Traminer Aromatico. Also: +39 388-379-1422. 3 hectares across three contrade: Calderara, Nave, and Lago; vine training: alberello and cordon. Produces 10,000 bottles annually.
