Etna: "Mountain of Fire" the charm and power The "Mountain of Fire", as Salvo Foti called it - one of the first to recover the wine growing in the Etna area - it's a great reference point that affects the lives of thousands of inhabitants: since ancient times farmers relied on Vulcan to premonitions, omens and climate forecasts, have always tried to hand down the charm focusing it on the land and wine products.

Usually wines from Nerello have a full - bodied structure and an elegance evolving with age. Nerello Cappuccio Nerello Cappuccio, or Mantellato, is a red grape vine variety widespread in the Etna area. The name derives from the conformation of the plant. It is used at 20% in the Etna red wine DOC giving the wine an intense colour. Carricante Native white grape vine variety that is exclusively from the Etna area.
