When I was purchasing the property of “La Guardiola” on mount Etna, the job was to clear the hundred and thirty terraces that lay buried under the steep, flowering overgrowth on that part of the volcano, and then plant something other than the ever present Nerello Mascalese, that could express for me what an Aetnean wine should be like. There were just enough berries on the vines this year to make this. -Andrea Franchetti |
