Olio IGT Monovarietale Nocellara Etnea
The harvest is carried out from the end of September until the end of October and before the complete veraison of the berry. The milling is carried out on the same day of the harvest using a low temperature extraction system that respects the characteristics of the olives as much as possible. The refinement is carried out in small stainless steel tanks.
Olio IGT Monovarietale Nocellara Etnea
Superior category Extra Virgin Olive Oil obtained directly from olives Nocellara and solely by mechanical processes.
This oil is obtained from Nocellara dell’Etna olives harvested in the autumn in the family olive grove and sent on the spot to cold extraction, not filtered. Nocellara dell’Etna is a typical variety of the province of Catania from which oils with particular elegance and finesse are obtained.
This wine comes from a vineyard planted in 2002 on the Tenuta Francescana Estate, above underground caves used for centuries in the removal of volcanic stone. During the Battle of Anzio, in the Second World War, due to their strategic location in the heart of the frontline, the caves were used as a shelter for civilians and soldiers.
The presence of these hollows increases the quality of ripening of the grapes, due to the insignificant depth of the soil.
The Cabernet Sauvignon grape vineyard was planted in 2006 in the Tenuta del Gelso Bianco, located on the gentle slopes that anticipate the plain of Catania. The soil is clayey-calcareous of medium texture.
This wine expresses the true characteristics of Nerello Mascalese grown on the eastern slope of Etna.
The specific microclimate is affected by the influence of the Ionian Sea, which contributes great finesse and elegant complexity, which can be attributed to the balanced and refined flavors of this variety.
The combination of Catarratto with Caricante improves the fullness and complexity and balance of acidity. Alongside the elegance that this wine expresses, notes of considerable aromatic complexity emerge with mineral sensations that come from the volcanic soil.
Moscatella is a very aromatic white Moscato phenotype widespread throughout eastern Sicily. On Etna this grape has always been marginal and mainly used as table grape. In 2006 a small plot of Moscatella was planted in the San Michele estate.
The first production of this wine begins only in 2016. The typical aromas of the grape are elegantly combined with sensations that bring back to the terroir and which are balanced with softness and acidity. The moderate sensation of sweetness makes it suitable for different gastronomic combinations.
This wine has a particular link with the traditions of the Etna area where it was common practice to carry out very short macerations in order to produce fruity and drinkable wines, very popular in the area. The production techniques used enhance the aromatic characteristics of the vines used. It is a rosé wine of good coloring intensity with moderate tannins that also finds perfect combinations with fish-based dishes and fresh tomato-based dishes.
This wine is obtained from the best batches of Nerello Mascalese which have been selected for the perfect polyphenolic maturation. The long maceration at low temperature allows a complete extraction of the components, creating a wine in which the true potential of these particular grapes and the Etna terroir are enhanced.
The particular elegance of the tannins combined with a remarkable concentration determines a great sensorial complexity in which the mineral taste of the black sands of the volcano is highlighted in a very fine way. Alongside these characteristics, spicy notes are perceived that combine in a very pleasant way with the fruitiness of the grapes and traces of vanilla and toasted hazelnuts are felt in the aftertaste.

The Nero Buono grape was planted on the Tenuta della Francescana Estate in 2012. This traditional Lazio vine, originally from the Cori area, has recently been revitalized by courageous producers after being counted among the local cultivars that had disappeared.
In our unique conditions, Nero Buono expresses superior characteristics of this particular volcanic terroir, with extraordinary organoleptic qualities of the variety with a strong personality.
