Today, with a team of locals, they cultivate organically, eight hectares of terraced land, divided into small vineyard plots and olive groves scattered across the north face of the volcano. Grapes are hand harvested in September and October and fermented into a range of natural wines, expressive of their “terroir”.
The estate also produces an extra virgin olive oil and rears the rare Sicilian black bee.
Solicchiata, Mt Etna, Sicily
“Vino di Anna” is a small, family wine estate situated high on the northern slopes of Mt Etna, near the village of Solicchiata. The heart of the domain is in Contrada Crasà, where the winery and family home are located. The rest of the vineyards are situated in different contrade (historic lava flows) from the secluded 100 yr old Don Alfio vineyard, in the contrada Piano Filici, above the village of Rovittello, to the renowned contrada Rampante, above Passopisciaro.
The white vineyards are concentrated on the north-western side of the volcano in contrade Nave, not far from the estate’s Grenache dominant vineyard in contrada Tartaraci, near the village of Maletto.
