Red, Nerello Mascalese & Etna DOC

Etna DOC Donna Carmela is produced in ten acres in the most prized of Etna’s wine areas. The vineyards are located within municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia, on the northern slope of the volcano and are planted in Nerello Mascalese, the vine that gives life to the great wines of this zone. Pietradolce - Archineri Etna Red DOC (Designation of Origin) is created in a territory of exceptional wine and with the vocation, passion and commitment of the Faro family.
The winemaking takes place in a cellar fittingly in the town of Mascali, from which Nerello Mascalese gets its name, just a few kilometres from Donna Carmela. Our first bottling of Pietradolce Etna Rosso Archineri 2007 won the 2010 Vini d'Italia’s highst rating of Tre Bicchieri (three glasses). Pietradolce Etna Rosso Archineri is characterized by a ruby-garnet colour, a nose of red fruit and mineral notes, with complexity, persistence and elegant tannin on the palate.
We can arrange visits, on request, to the cellar and the vineyards, and for the tasting of our wine
