The company is made up of 3 different structures: Podere di Pietra Marina located on the northern side of Etna, at about 550 meters, is used for the cultivation of the native red grape varieties Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, with which Etna Doc Rosso is produced. Tenuta Le Sciarelle, at about 450 meters on the southern side of Etna, is dedicated to the production of the white grapes Carricante (native vine of the area) and Catarratto, suitable for the production of Etna Doc Bianco. Tenuta del Gelso located on a large plot of land near the sea, is dedicated to various crops: citrus fruits, vegetables, olive trees. The estate's vines have a characteristic and particular shape of a small tree, and grow luxuriantly on the fertile soil of volcanic origin, rich in minerals. Some of them are centuries-old and of the pre-phylloxera type. Production takes place using traditional processing techniques such as manual harvesting and slow and natural seasoning in oak barrels.
