Contrada C comes from Chiappemacine, the lowest vineyard in Passopisciaro on Etna, situated at an altitude of 550 meters.

Here, the last outflows of the volcano’s lava meet a subsoil of limestone and sandstone, which gives the wine its unique combination of richness, roundness, and vibrant minerality.

The year 2022 began with relatively low temperatures. Budding proceeded normally, and the spring rains and high temperatures in early summer led to rapid foliage growth. Chiappemacine was one of the areas most affected by drought during the summer, but the grapes reached perfect ripeness and were harvested on October 5th.

The vintage shows great balance and remarkable energy: floral and spicy notes, dried strawberry, and wild berries meet a soft, juicy mouthfeel and precise acidity.

A subtly understated and very harmonious wine with excellent aging potential.

The wine is made from 100% Nerello Mascalese from 70-100-year-old vines, fermented in steel and aged for 18 months in large neutral barrels. Wine is produced from only 1.2 hectares in this contrada.
