Falstaff Wine Guide Italy 2024

In 2000, Andrea Franchetti decided to restore an old baglio (country house) and wine cellar on the slopes of Mount Etna. The winery in Castiglione di Sicilia, on the northern slope of the volcano, around 1,000 metres above sea level, mainly produces Nerello Mascalese in its variations of terroir, altitude and exposure, in the form of crus or contrade. Allochthonous varieties such as Chardonnay, Petit Verdot and Cesanese d'Affile are also cultivated. Franchetti's commitment has contributed to the revival of viticulture on the mountain and to the discovery of Etna wines on the international market.
