1.2h of estate owned vines in Contrada Chiappemacine, a small domain at 550m above sea level. This is their lowest site for a single vineyard cru. The site produces a more full-bodied, rounder style because it lies on the last outreach of Mount Etna’s lava; beneath the thinner strata of lava lies a limestone bed to which the vines penetrate.
