What to say

  • A wine of medium straw yellow color and a fragrant bouquet of citrus fruits and mineral notes, with hints of Mediterranean herbs.
  • Palmento Costanzo sits in Contrada Santo Spirito on the northern slope of Etna, around a conservatively restored 19th-century palmento (traditional lava-stone wine press) with a new bio-architectural cellar built beside it.
  • On the palate, it is vibrant, fresh, and savory.

The producer

Palmento Costanzo

Palmento Costanzo sits in Contrada Santo Spirito on the northern slope of Etna, around a conservatively restored 19th-century palmento (traditional lava-stone wine press) with a new bio-architectural cellar built beside it. Its eighteen hectares are terraced across several contrade, each on a different lava flow, and every parcel is vinified separately in steel, tonneaux or large casks so each soil speaks with its own voice.
