Ciauria
In 2009 I started to produce a simpler Etna Rosso, an everyday wine, which brings us back to the perfumes and flavors of Nerello Mascalese that grows on the slopes of Etna. A wine that, as they say in Sicily, "Ciaurìa" of Etna. A wine that impresses with its disarming simplicity. A magic that is consumed only when you meet an extraordinary vine with a unique territory.
