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.

The 2018 Etna Bianco is fresh and buoyant with lots of pretty white flower and citrus definition followed by zesty mineral or salty sensations on the close. This is a carefully measured and focused wine with a very polished or glossy characteristic that I associate with the unique winemaking personality achieved at Pietradolce, one of my favorite estates on Etna....

The 2019 Etna Rosso blossoms with pretty rose notes, wild herbs and strawberries. It’s soft and enveloping, balancing a pleasant inner sweetness with energizing acidity and tart wild berries. A gentle layer of tannin adds lovely grip, as this finishes long with notes of licorice and blueberry skins. The 2019 is a harmonious beauty that has me seriously looking forward...

An extremely appealing and deliciously complex wine with a bouquet of wild cherries, sweet spices and exotic smoke with a hint of lavender. The palate is bursting with juicy, savoury fruits with notes of sour cherries and raspberries. Sensuous and complex, with a fine structure and a refreshing finish, this wine has the capacity to age for another ten years...

Utterly delicious and hedonistic. Juicy, rich yet savoury fruit. Spice, smoke and floral lift. Wonderful texture, silky and suave offset by bitter cherry and fresh acidity. This is a spellbinding wine which evokes the earthy complexity of this unique terroir in a delightfully drinkable style. Barbagalli 2011 manages to be at once serious, complex and meaningful and joyful. Enchanting.

A pure expression of Carricante from pre-Phylloxera vines (with a precious 1,800 bottles made), the 2016 Sant'Andrea displays the depth and structural firmness this Sicilian grape is capable of producing when given time to evolve in the bottle (over 18 months, in this case). Extended skin maceration (with up to ten months of skin contact) adds to the incredible intensity...

Very rich indeed. Massive spread and hugely opulent. Very grand cru burgundy. So concentrated. A certain wildness. Spice. Fresh and exciting. Long and reverberant. Quite unlike the norm and very Etna but great intensity and balance. 18/20, Jancis Robinson MW, jancisrobinson.com

A unique wine from pre-phylloxera, 100 year old Nerello Mascalese, whose yields are minute and produce less than half a bottle of wine per vine. The result is an extraordinary achievement. Powerful, concentrated morello cherry combines with violet, raspberry coulis and impressive herbal and spicy scents. There are full, mouthcoating tannins and incredible, wild florals alongside a crunchy acidity. The...
