Etna DOC Wines – La Galia
Etna DOC: wines from a living volcano
Etna is one of the most fascinating and unique territories in the world. Etna DOC wines are born on mineral-rich volcanic soils at high altitude, where the temperature range between day and night preserves delicate aromas and gives the wines an unparalleled freshness and savouriness. Our wines come from La Galia vineyards on the northern slope of Etna, where Sicilian winemaking tradition meets organic certification.
Controlled Designation of Origin, guaranteeing territory and quality
Certified organic farming, without pesticides or chemical fertilisers
Northern slope of Etna, the most acclaimed for wine elegance and longevity
Etna Rosso DOC Organic
Our Etna Rosso is made from Nerello Mascalese grapes, with a small portion of Nerello Cappuccio, from the Contrada Bonanno on the northern slope of Etna. A wine with the typical ruby red colour, fine, elegant and with great freshness — an authentic expression of the Etna volcanic territory.
The grapes are harvested by hand at the end of October and vinified in steel tanks using only indigenous yeasts. Approximately 10 days of maceration and frequent pumping over extract colour, polyphenols and precious aromas. Malolactic fermentation and 8–9 months' maturation in barriques refine the aromatic bouquet. After Etna DOC certification, the wine rests in bottle for a further 12 months before release.
Etna Bianco DOC Organic
Our Etna Bianco is made from Carricante grapes from the Arcuria and Guardiola vineyards on the northern slope of Etna. Bright straw yellow in colour, it offers aromas of grapefruit, mint and tropical fruits with spiced notes. On the palate it is elegant, with great savouriness, and capable of evolving and improving over several years.
Grapes are harvested by hand in mid-October. The destemmed grapes macerate at low temperature for 24 hours on the skins to favour aromatic extraction. The must ferments in steel tanks at 14–16°C for approximately 4 months on the fermentation yeasts. After Etna DOC certification, the wine ages for a further 4 months in bottle before commercial release.
Etna Rosato DOC Organic
Our Etna Rosato is made from Nerello Mascalese grapes from the Corvo vineyard on the northern slope of Etna. Its vibrant cadmium pink colour is luminous, with a fresh and seductive aromatic profile featuring strawberry, morello cherry and raspberry.
Grapes are harvested by hand in mid-October. The destemmed grapes macerate for 8 hours at low temperature on the skins to favour aromatic extraction. After clarification, the must ferments in steel tanks at 14–16°C for approximately 5 months on the fermentation yeasts. After DOC certification, the wine ages 3 months in bottle before release.
