The highest vineyard that Eduardo manages is situated at 1070 meters above sea level. That is considered very high even on Mount Etna. The uniqueness of this 0.5-hectare plot lies in the old, 80-year-old vines, which are rooted here in a mixed planting of 50% Nerello Mascalese, 20% Grenache, and 30% other white grapes (Grecanico, Coda di Volpe, Carricante). The name of the wine originates from a mountain road where the vineyard is located. The winemaking process includes a 15-day maceration, spontaneous fermentation without temperature control, and eight months of aging in cement tanks and used barriques.
