Wine from a recent vineyard, the result of rigorous massal selection. 100% plants without rootstock, from one of the best plots on the entire northern slope of Etna.

Pure Nerello Mascalese is a wine of power, fruit and a veil of austerity thanks to a slight earthy, smoky note that makes it majestic and complex. The drinking is fascinating and engaging.

From the producer

Azienda Vinicola Calabretta

The Calabretta winery was founded in the early 1900s, and Massimiliano represents the fourth generation of producers operating on the northern slope of the volcano. 12.5 ha of mostly vineyards with vines between 700 and 900 meters above sea level. The important height combined with the presence of the volcanic soil are conditions in which phylloxera cannot survive, so that the vines can be trained on the "piede franco" system with plants without wild rootstock; in addition, the high temperature ranges help to develop the natural aromas present in the skin of the grapes and to have a slower and more constant ripening.

The expressiveness of Massimiliano's wines is also given by the choice of making both wines from the authentic Etnean tradition, such as the aged red and rosé "Pista e Mutta," and contrada wines from small parcels, to make clear the richness of micro-territories of the volcano in their typical flavors and expressions.

The result is a very deep range of wines, with which we can enjoy discovering the various souls of the Northern Etna area.
