About the winemaker
The Costantino family's vineyards can be found on the southeastern slopes of Mount Etna. Father Dino, with his son Fabio, has since learned that the vineyards can produce tremendous quality and, with great passion for their land, have built a wonderful winery with a ditto reputation. This wine estate has been fully certified organic for years and only autochthonous varieties are planted on the approximately 10 hectares of vineyards. Some of the vineyards have a planting density of 5,00 vines per hectare, while there are also vineyards with some 8,000 vines per hectare.
