Etna Rosso Cru Davanti A Casa doc

Feudo Pignatone Rosso Davanti Casa is created from a selection of Nerello Mascalese grapes from ancient vines grown organically on the contrada (an ancient estate usually aligning with an historic lava flow) of the same name in the municipality of Randazzo on the northern slope of Mount Etna at an altitude of approximately 700 metres. The grapes used for Feudo Pignatone Rosso Davanti Casa come from hundred-year-old vines. The bunches are meticulously selected in the vineyard, followed by the separate vinification of every single parcel so as to produce a wine reflecting the identity of the terroir and the contrada. A wine full of energy, with a rare elegance and finesse, and excellent scope for development over time.

Emiliano Falsini - Sicilia

“I feel free to interpret wine by humbly listening to what nature wants to tell us through its force and energy, and that is why I am firmly convinced that creating great wine starts in the vineyard.” Since the beginning of my career, I have wanted to learn about and visit other wine-producing region around the world, and this has led me to spend time working and training in California, New Zealand and Argentina, where I enriched my cultural understanding of wine.

Grapes can communicate the richness and diversity of the terroir in which they are grown, and it is this richness and this diversity that have always historically set wines apart and which today I want to pursue in every project I undertake.

Sicilia

Like much of the Italian mainland, Sicily’s winemakers have moved away from producing high-volume, unremarkable wines, to focus on quality wines of great character. Its dry, well-structured red and white wines could not be further removed from the sweet Marsala and Moscato of the island’s past, and this has not gone unnoticed by international markets that have never had such a thirst for Sicilian wines. Sicilian producers have paved the way for other Southern Italian winemakers to begin to exploit the country’s rich environmental diversity, with wines that achieve the potential first admired by the Greeks and Romans.
