The terraces and stone walls of Randazzo on Mount Etna’s north face make for a special environment to grow grapes from ancient vines. Grape varieties such as Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccino grow about a half a mile above sea level, where the salty sea winds meet fresh, crisp mountain air that converges with volcanic, rich soil showered with rains and spring water and lots of love. Look at the color! It’s a centuries-old recipe that leads to Etna Rosso.
