Pietro Caciorgna

Nerello Mascalese from Etna's volcanic heart, rated by prestige critics.

Pietro Caciorgna works the volcanic slopes of Etna, in Sicily's southeastern corner. The winery focuses on Nerello Mascalese, the region's signature red variety—a grape that thrives in Etna's mineral-rich soils and expresses itself with structure and precision. N'Anticchia Etna and Guardoilvento Etna represent the core of the portfolio, both built from Nerello Mascalese and rated by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate. The winery also produces Etna 1415k, rounding out a lineup rooted in the distinctive terroir of Sicily's most celebrated volcanic vineyard zone. Etna's elevation and cooler microclimates yield wines of tension and refinement—far from the heavy, overripe stereotype sometimes attached to southern Italian reds.
