About the Winery

Pietradolce

Nestled on the slopes of Sicily's Mount Etna, Pietradolce winery is an exquisite manifestation of tradition and taste. The breathtaking vineyard stretches across 13.5 hectares, showcasing vines of remarkable antiquity. Its exceptional location provides the grapes with a unique blend of volcanic minerals and fresh mountain microclimate, thus crafting wines full of complexity and elegance.

Pietradolce is known for its deep respect towards the environment and dedication to traditional methods. The vineyard is managed organically, without the use of any chemical fertilisers or pesticides. Likewise, in the wine cellars, the reliance is purely on indigenous yeast and age-old techniques to prevent tampering with the wine's natural equilibrium.

The winery specialises in indigenous varietals, particularly Nerello Mascalese and Carricante, but also grows a modest amount of international varieties. The wines from these vines are meticulously and passionately made capturing the essence of old-world aesthetics and modern sensibility.

Jewels in Pietradolce’s crown include the Scrio, a single vineyard Nerello Mascalese, boasting an intense and expressive character with a mineral edge. Their Barbagalli, also made from Nerello Mascalese grapes exhibits a delightful balance of opulence and elegance; both wines truly express the terroir of the Etna region.

Pietradolce winery also features a charming wine tasting room for guests. It's a place where you can dive into the world of Sicilian wines, learning about their history and production methods, surrounded by inspirational views of Mount Etna and the sea.

To visit the Pietradolce winery is to immerse oneself into the rich tapestry of Sicily’s prolific wine culture. It is a journey of sensory discovery that charm every wine lover.

To summarise, Pietradolce winery is a living testament to the timeless allure of Sicilian winemaking: From the ancient vineyards, charming cellars and excellent wines too the stunning location. It is indeed a must-visit for any wine enthusiast.
