Wines, Grappas and Oils
Fifteen labels, most of them single-varietal, plus grappas and an extra virgin olive oil: each with its dialect name and its own poem.
Tending the vineyards
The Al-Cantàra winemaking process begins with meticulous attention to the land: great wine always starts from outstanding raw material.
We practise green manure, a traditional organic method of soil fertilisation, and the vineyards are managed entirely by hand. The harvest is entrusted to expert women, able to recognise the grapes at their different stages of ripeness.

14 of 15 wines single-varietal
Selective hand harvest
The harvest is guided by a philosophy of "listening to the vines": the rows are walked several times, at different moments, to pick only the bunches at their ideal ripeness.
It is a painstaking process that brings out the nuances of each variety. 14 of the 15 wines are vinified as single varietals, to express the elegance of the native Etna grapes.
Technique at the service of elegance
Nitrogen and CO₂ to prevent the oxidation of the musts.
Pneumatic pressing that preserves the grapes.
Added sulphites in the whites, almost half the organic limit.
Ageing in French oak and Etna chestnut barrels.
