Producer Information

LAzienda Agricola Monterosso was born when three friends, Aurelio Marconi, Giovanni Ferlito and Gianluca Strano, united by love for their land joined together. Their vineyard enjoys a unique panorama ranging from the Ionian Sea to the central crater of Etna, passing through the volcanic cones of the South-East. The philosophy that inspires the work in the vineyard is simple: a return to tradition methods, a respect for nature and creative innovation. The spiritual bond that tied our ancestors to the earth inspired them to work the vines on the ancient volcanic cone. Today, the work in organic farming allows the wine to fully express the terroir of this unique place. The vineyards of the DOC Etna (400 and 1000 m asl) are strongly influenced by the climate which varies considerably in relation to the slope and altitude. In the lower areas, in fact, the climate is cooler and more windy than the rest of Sicily. This zone has very low temperatures in winter and highs that are never hot in summer. There is also considerable temperature fluctuation between day and night that preserves the acidity and freshness of the fruit. The unique quality of Monterossos wine is closely linked to the volcanic matrix in Pozzolana Rossa (alternating layers of sand and pumice). The reddish color is due to the high concentration of ferrous elements, which give a particular flavor and minerality. Light and airy, it is a porous, crumbly pumice allows the roots of the vines to penetrate deeply and provides excellent drainage while reteing moisture deep down that guarantees the vines moisture during the drier periods. The spread of volcanic ash during explosive phenomena, acts as a natural fertilizer, a shower of energy and mineral substances such as potassium, phosphorus and manganese.
