50% Minnella/50% Carricante-Catarratto-Grecanico-Inzolia-other. Eduardo organically farms parcels totalling 3.5 hectares on the north face or versante nord of Mt. Etna. Those parcels are scattered amongst 6 different contrade or districts (Pietramarina, Allegracore, Sciaranuova, Friera, Santo Spirito and Marchesa). The soils are sandy volcanic ash and the elevation ranges from 550 to 850 meters.

Well! This was a delightful experience. The Minella rounds out the more mineral Carricante, adding texture and a hint of fresh herbs and fennel. It is utterly unique and utterly Sicilian
