Only the best harvests, using the oldest vineyards, over 50 years old and with the lowest yields, become Duca di Montalbo. The Cru is decisive: the Montalbo district is characterised by 100% limestone marl, a 'lunar' soil surprisingly suitable for the long maturation of red wines.

Intense, transparent ruby colour, the nose explodes in bouquets of red fruit and nuances of liquorice and spices. The undergrowth of the Mediterranean bush surrounding the vineyard is found in the energising freshness of the glass, currants, juniper and blueberry, as well as juiciness from the mineral savouriness.

An ancient indigenous Friulian red grape variety that is very widespread and appreciated, Refosco hides, behind an apparently rustic character, the ability to give life to great wines of extreme elegance. The nose expresses fruity aromas reminiscent of cherry, blackberry and mandarin along with notes of sweet tobacco.
The palate opens sternly, then gives way to more complex aromatic sensations; it has a very elegant tannic texture, is fresh and has a spicy persistence on the finish.

Vigna La Monaca, two hectares planted in 2011 at an altitude of 320 m a.s.l., is characterised by a soil with a more sandy texture (37.4% of sand and 12.5% of clay), which is well aerated, very draining and therefore drier, making the vines less vigorous. The north-eastern exposure ensures good luminosity but less influence from the hot summer temperatures; this means that in the hottest and driest years the vine suffers less, maintaining constant ripening. The presence of active limestone facilitates the development of aromas and the wealth of potassium favours the accumulation of sugars, aromas and anthocyanins. The low vigour, low productivity and the characteristics of the soil are favourable for a balanced and complete ripening of the grapes, more suitable for structured red wines with long ageing. The training system is espalier, with Guyot pruning and a density of 4600 vines per hectare.

Etna's Nerello Mascalese, thanks to its light, brilliant colour, historically lends itself to producing quality rosé wines. From a parcel of a vineyard in Contrada Rampante, comes Tefra - from the Greek word for 'ash' - the pyroclastic material generated by a volcanic eruption. The nose is delicate and clean, true to Nerello Mascalese; very dynamic in the mouth, thanks to its freshness and sapidity.
