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.

Details

Vineyard	The vineyards for this wine are located on the southeastern flank of Mount Etna at an altitude of about 450 meters, near Viagrande north of Catania. The soil here consists of volcanic rock and volcanic sand. With a planting density of 6,500 vines per hectare and various pruning methods, the yield is about 55 hl/ha. The vines are on average 35 years old.
Vinification	After the manual harvest, the grapes are destemmed and then a skin soaking of 4 to 10 days follows. The must is pumped over the cap several times during this process. The wine spends 6 months in both stainless steel and oak barrels of various sizes. After bottling, it is left to mature in the bottle for a few months.
