Etna Rosso Guardoilvento di Caciorgna is the wine dedicated to Dante Albieri (Graphic designer), Maria de Ferraris (Artist), Francesco Antonelli (Navigator and Writer). The name of the wine, which is also the title of Francesco Antonelli's first novel, represents the image of the vine cultivated as Alberello that is crossed in all directions by the wind, sometimes gently caressed to give it relief, sometimes whipped by a violent force. But she, the vine, with her roots well anchored to the nourishing earth, and tied to the pole to which man has entrusted her, stands there watching and listening to that wind, which is also healthiness, quality. We are on the border between the municipalities of Castiglione di Sicilia and Randazzo, at 750 meters above sea level: the soil is black, porous and deep composed of volcanic ashes, with traces of sand and rich in minerals; the vines are old bush-trained Nerello Mascalese vines. The grapes ferment in steel, and the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation also in steel, then it ages in second-passage barriques for 8 months and another 3 months in the bottle.
