Lying on the north side of Etna, between 650 and 780 meters, the company owns 18 hectares of vineyards, framed by hazelnut and olive groves.

In 2005 Giuseppe Russo re-founded it and dedicated it to his father Girolamo, wanting to strongly express the need not to disperse the values ​​of his family, interpreting them, at the same time, in a personal and innovative way, building a different wine culture and choosing to stay in the native village, Passopisciaro, the village of the rebirth of the great red wines of Etna.

Giuseppe and his collaborators cultivate the vines organically, according to the peasant tradition: the one that has allowed ancient vineyards, most of them more than centenary, to reach today.

And so, the old sapling plants have been enriched by new vineyards in rows, and the manual processing of the past has been maintained: short pruning, plowing, hoeing, tying, sulfur and copper. In October, during the harvest, the grapes are carefully selected and vinified separately according to the district of origin, so that the soul of each one is reborn in the wine, so rich in aromas, colors, and bitter sweetness.
