Inspired by the traditional terracing method, the Terrazze dell’Etna winery was founded in 2008 by Nino Bevilacqua, an engineer from Palermo, and legendary Italian winemaker Riccardo Cotarella. Stretching over 36 hectares in the northwest slopes of Mount Etna, the estate grows all of its own grapes along with olive trees, cherry trees, chestnut trees, and oaks. All the farming is done by hand and the estate uses integrated farming, including a variety of crops and livestock, to enhance biodiversity. The soils are volcanic in nature, the winemaking style is traditional, with minimal intervention.
This classic Etna blend is elegant and spiced, with sharp and delicate notes of ripe red and blue fruits, and distinct Etna minerality. Soft, ethereal tannins.
