It is named after the scepter of Bacchus which symbolizes prosperity, fertility and hedonism. This is a deep and bright rose wine with purple highlights, exciting and complex. It has aromas of red fruits such as cranberry, citrus fruits such as grapefruit, herbs such as anise and spices such as pepper and cinnamon. Gastronomic, juicy and salty mouth. Aging in terracotta amphorae helps with its structure and minerality. It accompanies grilled meats as well as fried dishes. It's challenging and definitely worth your try!

White wine from the volcanic region of Etna in Sicily, from the ancient Carricante grape. The stay of three months on the lees gives a delicious wine with a bold style, with fresh aromas of white fruits and herbs. Rich in the mouth with lively acidity, fresh and salty, mineral that lingers through the finish. Distinct volcanic minerality, salinity and lemon notes bring a seaside vibe supported by a remarkable concentration. Food wine, culinary, goes great with seafood and fish, grilled, boiled or even better over pasta.

The term Scalunera, in Sicilian means ladder, and refers to the terraced vineyards located on the steep slopes of Mount Etna, which have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Harvesting is done manually. And it gives us wine with a salmon color, characteristic of Nerello Mascalese grapes. Expressive nose of small red fruits with subtle notes reminiscent of ripe peaches and passion fruit. On the palate it is fresh, with a medium body and a long mineral aftertaste. Versatile at the table, it accompanies seafood appetizers, tuna tartare, pasta such as amatriciana and light barbecue.

Cauru Etna Rosso has a dark red color and is produced from the Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio varieties. It is fragrant with dominant aromas of raspberry, cherries, violets, dates, cedar notes and flowers on the nose. In the mouth it has a medium body with firm tannins and the palate shows volcanic freshness with cherry jam, citrus and pomegranate. The aftertaste is long and lively gathering the energy of Etna. Enjoy it with grilled tuna, roast duck or turkey as well as vegetarian dishes based on wild mushrooms, aubergines or medium-aged cheeses.

The lively and elegant "Metodo Classico Etna Rose" better explores the character of Etna. It is produced 100% from the Nerello Mascalese variety in the Etna area - Contrada Dafara Galluzzo (Rovittello - Castiglione di Sicilia) at an altitude of 700 m. The wine remains in contact with the fine lees for several months before being bottled. After re-fermentation, Chiuse finds its own balance remaining 44 months in the bottle. The slow process of staying on the lees gives body to the wine and creates the sophisticated tertiary aromas.

It is produced in the Etna DOC area (Rovittello-Contrada Dafara Galluzzo) from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes that are harvested by hand in mid-October at an altitude of 700 m. After vinification it matures for 18 months in large 500l oak barrels. Chiuse in Italian is what Clos in France (closed vineyard), is the best and truest expression of the Etna cru known as Contrade. The stone walls, part of the Unesco World Heritage, define the ancient borders of our vineyards. Chiuse Vidalba is a selection of older bush vines Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio from our low yield organic vineyard Contrada Dafara Galluzzo located in Rovittello on the northern slope of the volcano.

Scalunera is a dark red wine produced from the Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio varieties. It displays a rare aromatic profile, a blend of ripe, dry and pleasantly bitter sensations of red berries, cherries, yellow fruits, sandalwood, mushrooms and citrus aromas such as lemon peel. Tastewise, it has a medium body with firm tannins. This is an elegant wine that can easily be enjoyed on its own or paired with a huge variety of food such as braised, fatty fish, pork, lamb, cheese and vegetables such as aubergines and red peppers.

The wine takes its name from the extension of its vineyard of origin, highlighting the close bond that binds each bottle of the estate and each individual vineyard. The varieties Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, the winemaker Pasquale Presutto and the Castelnuovo Berardenga region give us this wine.

Donna di Valiano is a subtle tribute to the woman of the Piccini family, who has always played a decisive role in our history. This wine is dedicated to them and to all the women of the world. Winemaker Pasquale Presutto took the two international varieties Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc from semi-mountainous vineyards in Castelnuovo Berardenga and created Donna di Valiano.
