Pietradolce is a story of historical and family traditions, with its roots on the northern slopes of Mount Etna in Solicchiata, a hamlet a few kilometres from Castiglione di Sicilia. The estate is a unique expression of passion and visceral attachment to the land, the crucial values of our company philosophy.
Our vineyards extend for 30 hectares on the northern slopes of Mount Etna between the Contrade Rampante, Zottorinoto, Santo Spirito and Feudo di Mezzo, at an altitude of between 650 and 950 meters above sea level. A further 2 hectares are on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna, in Contrada Caselle in the municipality of Milo at 850 meters above sea level.
THE UNDERGROUND BARREL ROOM IS WHERE THE AGEING PROCESS OF THE RED WINES TAKES PLACE, IN OAK BARRELS.
The vat cellar is ideally insulated thanks to its thick lava stone walls: here the fermentation of the wines takes place in small tulip-shaped raw concrete tanks, with a capacity of 40 hectolitres each.
Respect for authentic traditions is combined with carefully thought-out use of the most advanced winemaking techniques. This is the only way Pietradolce wines come to life. Wines from Etna.
The new cellar is the result of a project in which art and craftsmanship intertwine to create spaces with a contemporary style and strongly linked to the territory, a few kilometres from the Etna Park and in the shadow of the volcano.
