These wines are so distinct and bear the hallmark of their volcanic origin so beautifully. Crackling with energy and zip, the fruits are on the redder spectrum, bilberry, cherry and raspberry, undercut with a mineral intensity, mouthfilling, grippy and satisfying. L&S (Jul 2022)

Flinty mineral, eucalyptus and forest berry aromas take shape in the glass along with whiffs of dog rose. Made with 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio, the linear palate is ethereally elegant, showing juicy cherry, strawberry compote, vanilla and a hint of truffle alongside buffed tannins and fresh acidity. A saline note leaves a salty finish. Drinking range: - 2028 Rating: 91 Kerin O'Keefe, kerinokeefe.com (May 2023)

The 2018 Etna Rosso Mofete wafts up with a woodland-inspired mix of wild berries, savory herbs and smoke. It鈥檚 soft yet lifted in feel, with a pure mix of red fruits and a coating minerality that lingers. While not the last note on depth, the 2018 Mofete finishes fresh with a floral flourish.

Palmento Costanzo

A property of 14 hectares in Contrada Santo Spirito, Passopisciaro, on the northern slopes of Etna. 10 hectares are planted with vines on walled terraces on volcanic rocks between 600-800 metres altitude. The Costanzos came here in 2011 - they are from Catania - and meticulously restored the palmento (the word for the olive millstone which gave the farm its name). The vineyards are planted employing the 鈥榞obelet' method and farmed organically. The 2017鈥檚 are certified organic. This is an amazing new project which has been given all the investment and attention it needed to make great wines from the outset.
