PIETRADOLCE
Established in 2005, Pietradolce stretches over 11 hectares of high-altitude vineyards on Etna. At the heart of the winery is an unashamed passion for their land and the utmost respect for the autochthonous grape varieties Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio and Carricante. Etna’s volcanic soils and some old, pre-phylloxera vines give birth to some of the most vibrant wines in Sicily. Pietradolce’s range is crafted with a real sense of terroir, incredible purity, concentration and longevity.

TASTING NOTES
“A darker, more structured Barolo than his sibling, Prapo’ is an incredibly pure expression of the terroir of Serralunga. Precise notes of red and black berries, forest floor and dark spices are framed by tight woven tannins and lively freshness. An exciting release that has the potential to be enjoyed for the next 10 years.” Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES
100% Nerello Mascalese. This youthful and deliciously perfumed wine has a fine summer fruit aroma. Cherry and floral elements combine on the palate alongside a hallmark red-apple skin crunch. The tannins are tightly packed and fine accompanied by a kiss of oak which adds a subtle roundness. This is an approachable and extremely tasty Etna Rosso; it will pair brilliantly...

TASTING NOTES
This Archineri Etna Rosso is a wine of absolutely stunning precision and character. It is very reflective of its volcanic territory; with a fine, smoky intensity. Bright redcurrant, dried rose petal and crab-apple notes accompany subtle earthy and herbal scents. This savoury complexity is supported by fine, chewy tannins and textbook cherry juiciness. This is a serious wine which demands...

TASTING NOTES
This stunning Nerello Mascalese is alive with energy, embodying orange peel freshness and bright ripe cherry and cranberry fruit. Beautifully nuanced with a richly velveteen texture, the delicate undercurrent of tarry minerals and wild herbal ungrowth provide a fascinating appeal that leads through to the final flourishes on its long finish. A triumphant wine. Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES
Just 5000 bottles were produced of this wonderful new Cru. The 90 year old vines are located at 900m above sea level on the volcano’s steep northern slopes, weathered by gusty sea winds and drenched in sunlight. The wine is a marvellous contrast to Pietradolce’s fine red Crus, as they aim to extract the character of Etna’s contrada. The wine...

TASTING NOTES
Very pale straw color. Gorgeous nose of white peach, lime, minerals and jasmine. Then fresh and crisp, but with an underlying glyceral note that provides backbone to the zingy citrus and pomaceous orchard fruit flavors. Finishes extremely long with strong notes of fresh ginger and an underpinning of mineral dust. An outstanding Etna Bianco. 94 points, Ian D’Agata, Drink 2019-2023
