Paolo Caciorgna
The Etna adventure for Paolo Caciorgna, the renowned Tuscan wine maker, started in 2005 after his first visit to this remote area in the north-east part of Sicily. His fascination for the black, mineral-rich volcanic soil and the 100-year old pre-phylloxera nerello mascalese vines inspired him to buy a small estate of 1.3 hectares, where is produces wines of great elegance and character.
Etna Bianco ‘Guardoilvento’
Delicately floral aromatic profile on which touches of flint and graphite are inserted.

Etna rosso ‘Guardoilvento’
Guardoilvento expresses the character of the altitude and the black and stony earth from which it originates. Perfumed with intense and delicate aromas, with notes of fresh fruit and spices, with a strong body but with gentle, soft and delicate tannins. Easy to drink now, but even more generous if you know how to wait.
