90% Nerello Mascalese/10% other local varieties. Eduardo acquired this half-hectare parcel of 70-plus-year-old vines in the territory of Castiglione, just outside of the Etna zone. It lies on Mt. Portella at 700 meters with a north-facing orientation. In traditional style, the vineyard is a mixed planting of various local white and red varieties. Nerello Mascalese is the main red, with Nerello Cappuccio, Alicante and Garnacha; the whites include Minnella, Catarratto, Grecanico and Inzolia. Notably, the terre bianche soils are not volcanic but sedimentary, based on sub-marine sandstone with clay and quartz (arenaria is marl or marne).
