Production Area

Cavanera Etnea

The Cavanera Etnea vineyards are located on the north-northeast of the Volcano. The winter temperatures are on average low, with a high difference in temperature between day and night. These soil and climate conditions in particular favour the complex aromatic profile of the grapes.

Agronomy dedicated to the natural balance of quality

The Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio vineyards which produce Cavanera  Rovo delle Coturnie, are the object of farming practices which pay careful attention to the vegetative balance of vines grown in such a unique location as Etna. The volcanic soils with their unique characteristics and the high difference in temperature between day and night contribute in determining the extraordinary soil and climate conditions of this terroir. Farming practices involve early removal of leaves during the grapes’ ripening phase in order to obtain smaller grapes with thick skins that present a bloom which protects the sensory properties and aromatic content in the pulp. Only a select few bunches of Nerello Mascalese grapes also require the removal of shoot tips to allow for an even ripening of all the grapes, and protect them from any eventual mould outbreaks.
