Sciàre dell'Alba
Sciàre dell'Alba works the volcanic slopes of Etna in Sicily, where the region's distinctive terroir shapes wines built on indigenous varieties. The winery's Rosso blends Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese—grapes that thrive in Etna's mineral-rich soils and cool microclimates, yielding structured reds with volcanic character. The Bianco pairs Carricante and Catarratto Bianco, white varieties native to the region that express the limestone and ash-laden earth. A Rosato rounds the portfolio, also drawn from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. Wine Enthusiast has rated these releases. The winery's focus on Etna's native grapes reflects the broader turn toward the region's volcanic identity—wines that carry the imprint of their place rather than international templates.
