Federico Curtaz

Federico Curtaz works the volcanic slopes of Etna, Sicily's most dynamic wine region. The winery focuses on two indigenous varieties that thrive in Etna's mineral-rich soils: Nerello Mascalese for red wines and Carricante for whites. Pukkaria Etna Rosso, a Nerello Mascalese blend, represents the winery's signature red—structured and complex, shaped by the mountain's altitude and porous lava substrate. Gamma Etna Bianco, made from Carricante, captures the aromatic precision and salinity that define white wines from this terroir. Il Purgatorio Etna Rosso offers another expression of Nerello Mascalese, showcasing the variety's ability to balance power with elegance across different vineyard sites. The wines have drawn attention from major critics including Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate, reflecting the quality and distinctiveness of Etna's volcanic expression.
