100% Nerello Mascalese, a native Sicilian grape known for its elegance and complexity, grown on volcanic soils rich in minerals, typical of Mount Etna, imparting unique structure and character to the wine. Manual harvest with careful selection ensures quality and integrity.

Gentle pressing, followed by cooling and decantation to preserve freshness. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures for 20 days, with a second fermentation in the bottle using the Traditional Method for at least 24 months, involving manual riddling. Extended aging on the lees adds complexity and longevity to the wine.

Murgo

Etna: a remarkable region of exceptional wines, under the spotlight for its explosion in national and international markets for its enological excellence.

The company is located in Sicily, just a stone's throw from the sea, but in reality, we are in the mountains above a volcano, at an altitude of 800 meters.

All these elements create an extraordinary experience for the palate, and the same emotion is conveyed by the century-old vineyards that climb up to the slopes of the volcano. Murgo has always believed in the sparkling wine potential of this great terroir!

Murgo

In 1981, Baron Emanuele Scammacca del Murgo decided to transform the family’s landholdings into modern agricultural enterprises, and in the following years, his sons and brothers joined this endeavor.

In 1982, the first Etna Rosso was bottled, and in 1990, the first Metodo Classico sparkling wine, Murgo Brut, was produced.

Today, Murgo is a benchmark for classic methods in the entire region and a stylistic expression capable of transcending regional boundaries.

Sicily

Sicilian wine territory is now considered a true continent, thanks to its pedoclimatic variability and rich biodiversity. It is located in the center of the Mediterranean and in the so-called "northern sunbelt," an area between the 30th and 50th parallels north and the 30th and 40th parallels south, where the best conditions of brightness and temperature for vine cultivation are found.

On the smaller islands, given the high temperatures and windy conditions, the typical training system is the "alberello" and its "mixed" versions (for example, on the island of Pantelleria), as well as the "Tendone" system. In the rest of Sicilian territory, however, more than half of the vineyards use espaliers and contre-espaliers. In Sicily, wines with a long history are born, such as Marsala, but also fragrant dessert wines like Passito di Pantelleria and Malvasia delle Lipari, not to mention Moscato di Noto and numerous robust red wines and interesting white wines. There's also Nerello Mascalese, climbing the slopes of Mount Etna.

Etna

Mount Etna is a wine region that offers unique wines in the world.
Thousands of years of powerful eruptions, complex transformations, and ongoing volcanic events have made the soil that hosts the vineyards the key element from which springs that exclusive and unparalleled complexity, essential for a wine, the Etna wine, increasingly famous worldwide.

In the Etna area, there are substantial microclimatic differences between one zone and another of the volcano, due to the particular position of Mount Etna and its morphology. The territory, the microclimate, the volcanic soil rich in minerals, together with the peculiarity of the native grape varieties, favor the production of unique wines.

Etna wine was the first Sicilian table wine to obtain recognition as a Controlled Designation of Origin (DOC).
Mount Etna, with its millennia-old history of eruptions and volcanic transformations, confers upon its wines a unique complexity in the world.
