Pietradolce

Pietradolce, founded in 2005 in Solicchiata on Etna’s northern slopes, is a benchmark for contemporary Etna wines. The 20 ha estate focuses on old-vines, some over 100 years old, grown organically at 600–900 m on mineral-rich lava soils. Minimalist winemaking with spontaneous fermentations and ageing in large neutral oak or concrete preserves finesse and verticality. Flagship wines include "Archineri", "Contrada Rampante", and the Etna Rosso Barbagalli, all noted for purity, elegance, and strong terroir identity.
