For more than 100 years, the Scammacca del Murgo family has cultivated vines and olives under the fiery gaze of Mount Etna in Sicily producing wine for the locals of Santa Venerina. It was in 1981 when Emanuele decided the time was ripe to move away from bulk production to focus on Etna’s exceptional volcanic terroir and its native grape, Nerello Mascalese. The family produced its first Etna Rosso in 1982 and then in 1990, they bottled their first estate sparkling dry wine from Nerello Mascalese, crafted according to the Méthode Champenoise. Now the estate produces a range of red, white, sparkling and rosé wines from native grapes. Their Etna Bianco is one of our favorites; a lean, acid and mineral driven wine of immense value that is both thirst quenching and intriguing on the palate.
