On the slopes of Mount Etna, Duca di Salaparuta decided to launch an innovative experiment by cultivating Pinot Nero for the first time. The result of this winemaking experiment was Nawàri, which is now part of the Icons, a 100% Pinot Nero that astonishes with its personality and impressive structure, combined with elegant fruitiness and generous freshness.

To please those who love to explore unusual wines.
The Vajasindi Estate, on the slopes of Mount Etna, is home to native grape varieties as well as Pinot Nero, which today takes on a new form on this soil of volcanic origin. This is where Duca Nero is born, the Pinot Nero sparkling wine produced according to the Charmat method, which is not only elegant and fresh on the nose, but also exhibits a very distinct minerality on the palate.

Native to the slopes of Mount Etna, Nerello Mascalese has different features according to the area in which it is grown. These black grapes are grown on the terraces of the Vajasindi Estate and are used to produce Lavico Etna Rosso, a wine with an elegant body, fresh and slightly savoury, partly aged in French oak barriques.

Lavico Etna Bianco, Carricante, a white grape variety native to the Mount Etna area, perfectly captures the story of its land with its intense aromas of peach and exotic fruits, and marked iodised, occasionally spicy notes. Savoury and persistent on the palate, it has a distinct freshness, typical of this grape variety, which adds body and unexpected longevity, as well as earthy qualities, since this wine has its roots in lava soil.
