This blew us away! Incredible quality, like if Grand Cru Chablis & top-quality Vouvray came together on the volcanic soils of Mount Etna. This is one of the best Italian white wines we have ever tasted. Period!

Clear and pale gold. An intense bouquet on the nose with hints of green apple and fresh flowers. Citrus aromas of cedar and candied fruit, notes of ginger, star anise, balsamic note. Deep and complex with a good structure, fresh and well balanced with a mineral finish and citrus and balsamic persistence.

Eastern Sicily: 83 terraces, stretching between Contrada Praino and Contrada Volpare, through the pathways of the Milo forest, 700 m above sea level, on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe.

Maugeri is the wine-growing project of an Etnean family, who have returned to their home district to make wine once more. The unbroken line of more than 2.8 km of lava dry-stone walling borders the 7 hectares of the property, an amphitheatre of fertile volcanic soil, in a close embrace with the Mediterranean landscape.

Renato remains a child of the 1960s, knowing every corner of the estate, with his children Carla, Michela and Paola accompanying him in every decision. Three professional women, who through the wine give expression to the intimate relationship between the calling of the land and their family values linked to environmental and social sustainability.
