Our farming philosophy is based on our acceptance of the fact that man will never be able to understand nature’s full complexity and interactions. Our estate was established in 2001 when Etna as a wine region was still undiscovered. Our vineyards are located on the Northern valley of the active volcano Etna, in the oriental part of Sicily. The northern valley is considered today Etna’s top area for single-vineyard.

Our first white wine started out as an orange wine, fermented with the skins for an extended period. I liked the tactile feeling and density but missed the finesse and precision of the classic French white wines from for example the Loire. With the vintage 2015, I changed our technique to search for the purity and flavors of Etna which evolved in maintaining a short period of skin contact and aging our white wines for an extended period in the coldest part of our cellar before bottling. The obtained elegance, purity, and density make this wine very suited to accompany a wide variety of dishes and cuisine, from fish to white meat.
