From old vines of Nerello Mascalese (planted in 1946) on the terraces of the Monte Colla contrada (750/780 m altitude) - clay-sand on sandstone soils - a rich, warm "premier cru".   

 "The Hermitage of Etna", acoording to Frank Cornelissen: for the 9th edition of this cuvée (2012), a powerful yet elegant red premier cru, a strong expression of terroir.
