Falstaff Wine Guide Italy 2026

In 2000, Andrea Franchetti decided to restore an old country house (baglio) and wine cellar on the slopes of Mount Etna. On the vineyard in Castiglione di Sicilia, on the northern slope of the volcano at around 1,000 metres, mainly Nerello Mascalese is produced - in its variations of terroir, altitude and exposure in the form of crus or contrade. Allochthonous varieties such as Chardonnay, Petit Verdot and Cesanese d'Affile are also cultivated. Franchetti's commitment has contributed to the revitalisation of viticulture on the mountain and the discovery of Etna wines on the international market.
