Tasting Notes

A fine example of Sicily winemaking, this Etna DOC reflects generations of local expertise. With 12.5% alcohol, it strikes a confident balance between body and freshness.

The fruit is sourced from vineyards at 600 m above sea level in volcanic soils in Milo and Castiglione di Sicilia.

A wine capturing Sicily's sun-soaked character and ancient viticultural roots.
