There was a grape producer in Burgundy who said a thing that I think was very wise. He said, “Pinot Noir is not a great grape. Pinot Noir is a great grape in Burgundy.” So Nerello is not a great grape. It’s a great grape on Etna. Outside of Etna, it doesn’t deliver.

The iconic structure of the winery itself is a historical palmento, a traditional Sicilian stone structure used for crushing grapes and fermenting wine.

When I arrived here, I found Piemonte from the ‘80s, the ‘70s and I thought, “Wow, I found a new Piemonte!”

The alberello is a way to train the vines here on Etna, probably since the Greeks or the Romans. We use a chestnut pole like this one, and the vines then grow on it and it will support all the branches and it is well-ventilated. So, there is no barrier and you can access all the vines and not just the row with the wires in the middle.
