At the highest confines of the Etna DOC, these un-grafted, old vineyards typically take the longest to fully ripen, and the wines are projected for the long haul. A touch more austere, but quintessentially Nerello Mascalese with their darker tones and grainy mouthfeel. The 2021 is​ a​ “lively and spry Rampante that is a bit unruly yet enjoyable all the...

From a 90 year old vineyard brought to light and restored during land reclamation work. The wines produced have a peculiar exuberance with their floral and bright nose and fantastic freshness. “This is a beautiful Santo Spirito with a bright future ahead of it” (Eric Guido, Vinous). 

"Hauntingly dark and floral, the 2020 Etna Rosso Rampante smolders up with an array of dusty violets, lavender, cloves and earth tones before giving way to musky black currants. This is sleek and cool-toned in feel, showing its crisp minerality up front as tart wild berry fruits emerge over a core of sour citrus and spice. Structured and long yet...

Sitting literally on the border of the denomination at 1000 meters of altitude, the fruit is sourced from a tiny plot of 120 year old vines producing an average of half a kilogram of berries per plant.

It floods the palate with textures of pure silk, complicated by tactile mineral tones and brisk acidity as crunchy red berry fruits cascade throughout. A tart cranberry crunchiness takes hold through the structured finale as violet inner florals slowly...

"Sweet white flowers, chamomile and spice give way to crushed apples as the 2024 Etna Bianco Pietradolce wafts up from the glass. Pleasantly ripe in style, it splashes across the palate with crisp orchard fruits and minty herbal tones. This finishes with a sense of refinement as a tactile mineral tinge lingers." 91 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous
