Winemaker, Federico Curtaz, strives for purity in all of his Etna Bianco wines, and with the Musmeci, he is able to realize the full potential of the Carricante grape.

Il Musmeci Etna Rosso DOC This wine is dedicated to the Musmeci family, in particular, Mr. Musmeci, who for so many years looked after these estate vineyards (“I vigne di Fessina”) with so much love that today the winery is able to cultivate 80-year-old vines. This cru-level wine is made from a blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio from the oldest vines of the estate grown on the highest hills. The resulting wine is unparalleled in richness, concentration, and depth.
