Named after the farmer who was so compelled by the grapes it was possible to produce, that he cultivated this vineyard with much care for over 70 years before it came to be in Marco’s possession. This vineyard is contained within the larger Contrada, Calderara Sottana, and sits on soils deposited by the pre-Etna ‘Elitticco’ volcano. The vineyard contains plants that avoided the ravages of Phylloxera and are more than 140 years in age. The vineyard sits at 620m asl.
