One Territory: Two Souls
Contrada Palmento Bianco
The lands extend on the southern slope of Etna, divided into two main areas. One, located within the Etna DOC area, on the edge of the Etna Park, the Tenuta di Contrada Palmento Bianco, where we produce our Etna DOC wines, from Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio and Carricante vine varieties.
Here the altitude (about 800 meters above sea level), the terroir, and the soils of volcanic origin, give freshness, finesse and complexity, as well as a marked identity.
Contrada Valcorrente
The other area is Contrada Valcorrente, where we produce our IGP Terre Siciliane wines, from Nerello Mascalese and Chardonnay vines, and the Nocellara Etnea extra virgin olive oil.
At about 280 meters above sea level, the terroir is certainly different, as is the type of soil and the different exposure.
