Profumo di Vulcano begins with a small vineyard that dates back to the late nineteenth century. About half a hectare of land on the northern slopes of Mount Etna at 600 meters above sea level, in the district of Feudo di Mezzo, a small hamlet in Passopisciaro, in the municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia. Its altitude and north-facing location provide shelter from the strong winds of the sirocco, causing daily temperatures to hover around 28°C in summer. These unique conditions allow the grapes to ripen longer and develop their flavor and complexity. The vines, which average 100 years old – some predating the nineteenth-century phylloxera plague – represent the best native varieties of Etna. There are Nerello Mascalese and Cappuccio, Alicante and Francisi, as well as about forty white vines. A vineyard garden to sum up this country perfectly.
