Pietradolce is a story of historical and family traditions, with its roots on the northern slopes of Mount Etna in Solicchiata, a hamlet a few kilometres from Castiglione di Sicilia. Environmental sustainability, organic cultivation and good practices based on Etna’s traditions are what underlie our winemaking expertise. Our vineyards extend for 30 hectares on the northern slopes of Mount Etna between the Contrade Rampante, Zottorinoto, Santo Spirito and Feudo di Mezzo, at an altitude of between 650 and 950 meters above sea level. A further 2 hectares are on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna, in Contrada Caselle in the municipality of Milo at 850 meters above sea level. We also show our faithfulness to the territory by choosing to cultivate exclusively native varieties: Carricante and Nerello Mascalese. The vineyards, which mainly consist of pre-phylloxera vines between 90 and 150 years of age, are cultivated in the classic “alberello” shape, characteristic of the Etna vineyard landscape.
