Calabretta

Sicilian Nerello Mascalese from Etna's volcanic terroir.

Calabretta produces wines from Terre Siciliane in Southern Italy, drawing on the volcanic character of the region. The winery's portfolio centers on Nerello Mascalese, the indigenous red grape of Mount Etna's slopes, which appears in both the Nerello Mascalese Vigne Vecchie and Etna Rosso—the latter a blend with Nerello Cappuccio. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Decanter. The Sara Rosso rounds out the core range. Nerello Mascalese thrives in Etna's mineral-rich soils, producing wines marked by acidity, structure, and red-fruit aromatics that reflect the terroir's elevation and volcanic foundation. Calabretta's focus on this varietal and the region's traditional expressions positions the winery within Sicily's contemporary fine wine landscape.
