Vineyard

Contrada Rampante is the winery's highest cru at 1,000m above sea level. At the highest confines of viticulture on the northern side of Etna, Rampante is ancient contrada, producing one of volcano’s finest, most aromatic wines because of the sandy character that the lava has acquired. Due to the altitude, it is typically the last contrada to ripen. The winery owns and cultivates 1.4 hectares on this domain. The average age of the vines are over 100 years old!
