Tasting Notes
You'll notice that this wine isn't labelled Etna DOC, but in reality it's from Etna, it just doesn't fall within the DOC rules of the zone. The vineyard is located at an elevation over 800m and therefore doesn't qualify. Quite unfair really, because this is a fantastic wine and a phenominal expression of the active volcano it comes from. Full of volcanic terroir and minerality, dark fruited and savoury with beautiful concentration, structure and integrity. - Chris L
Eduardo Torres Acosta, a young winemaker from the Canary Islands, first began working with vines in Tenerife, where his father, a local postman, had a small plot of land. In 2012 Eduardo moved to Sicily, where he interned at Arianna (you may have heard of it). Soon thereafter he got a job as the enologist at Azienda Passopisciaro, one of the pioneers of new wave Etna producers. Despite Eduardo's "outsider" status, he managed to rent several fine parcels on Etna from locals. The grapes are harvested and then trucked to Arianna Occhipinti's estate in Vittoria. Since the winemaking facility is not on Etna, the wines are not allowed DO status and simply carry the IGT Terre Siciliane designation. - Louis Dressner
