Named Italy’s Best Sommelier at just 23, he built his reputation as a writer, scholar, and tireless student of wine before turning his attention to the mountain. After earning his degree in viticulture and enology, he apprenticed with Etna visionary Salvo Foti, whose mentorship shaped both his technical precision and his respect for tradition. Today, Fede farms a mosaic of vineyards on Etna’s north face in Passopisciaro and Montelaguardia, where Nerello Mascalese thrives among ancient, pre-phylloxera vines rooted in volcanic sand. This is a special place with its own unique ecosystem featuring remarkable climatic variability and a variegated landscape teeming with life. For the past 2000 years, people here have been growing vineyards in small plots of land reclaimed from the mountain, living in symbiosis with the volcano and adapting to the power and unpredictability of its elements. A member of the Maestranza dei Vigneri, Fede works with minimal intervention, relying on native yeasts, old vines, and intuition to guide each cuvée.

The blend — 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio — is entirely destemmed and naturally fermented, then aged 24 months in stainless steel and a small portion in neutral oak before resting six months in bottle. The resulting wine, Rosso di Mezzo, is a quietly confident expression of Etna’s north slope, refined, balanced, and unmistakably volcanic, where fruit, freshness, and stony depth meet in perfect poise. A luminous, transparent ruby in the glass, its aromas unfold gradually: wild strawberry, redcurrant, and orange zest layered with notes of anise, tobacco leaf, and fresh herbs.

These terraces, constructed by the Romans on steep morainic soils, are supported by dry stone walls, with pergolas called \u003cem\u003etopia \u003c\/em\u003emade from granite and wood. Originally, these terraces were designed for strategic purposes to protect the valley from Gaulish threats. In Carema, soil are primarily sandy, with a high content of gneiss rocks of glacial origin. Combined with the peculiar alpine weather and high altitude, this allows for mineral-driven Nebbiolos of unprecedented balance and aromatic detail.

For the Milanesio family, winemaking on these challenging terraces has always been a labor of love, with wine serving as a natural reward. Producing Carema wasn't initially viewed as a viable commercial venture, in fact Achille’s father primarily produced wines for his personal consumption, but in recent years Achille joined a handful of new winegrowers in what is nothing less than a rebirth for an historical, and yet almost forgone, appellation. Farming is organic, and winemaking minimal, in order to allow the grapes to express the uniqueness of these vineyards without filters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucidity","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41960680915024,"sku":null,"price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/ToglianaCaremaRiserva.png?v=1768351955"},{"product_id":"foti-i-vigneri-etna-rosso-vinupetra-2023","title":"Foti I Vigneri Etna Rosso Vinupetra 2023","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThe 'Vinupetra,' or 'wine of stone,' comes from just a single hectare of 100+ year-old-vines on Etna's north side. Here, Nerello Mascalese sees huge swings in day\/night temperature allowing the wine to walk a tightrope between concentrated, ripe fruit and a disciplined frame of structured minerality. Super expressive, the 2023 opens with a wild mix of blood orange, sour cherry, rosemary, and crushed stone. It’s soft-textured and lifted, with a tart berry concentration that builds toward the close, finishing with loads of tension, mixing edgy tannins with primary fruit and violet florals. It may a bit more time to find its balance, but this year's Vinupetra shows remarkable complexity, befitting its old-vine heritage. The unique soil and subsoil where these vines grow accounts for the wine’s personality and its capacity for slow development and graceful aging.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Farm Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41977020317776,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/FotiVingeriVinupetraEtna_eb2c76ef-b120-441f-9eda-14e314f81dcd.jpg?v=1773702455"},{"product_id":"tempa-di-zoe-zero-aglianico-2020","title":"Tempa di Zoe Zero Aglianico 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBack in the '90s  – legend goes  – Bruno went VinItaly, the preeminent Italian wine trade fair, with his wines, and absolutely no one bit.

Fermented with native yeasts and aged for three years in large Slavonian botti, the 2021 is a study in tension, with power held in check by precision, structure softened by lift.

'Delfo' had quite a nose for terroir, deciding after much deliberation to purchase barely an acre of land not far from Montalcino’s city walls. Local history books mention that as far back as the 1300s, this rocky slope was favored for vines, and was called “contrada el petroso,” or simply, the place of many stones. With barely an acre of land, Berni made miracles happen. His wines (crafted for personal consumption, not for sale) were so flavorful and refined that his family encouraged him to turn his hobby into a true calling, and make wine for the wider world. Three generations and a few more acres later, the descendants of “Delfo” – nephew Gianni Pignattai, his wife Cecilia, son Andrea and daughter Gloria – are continuing their granduncle’s passion. While so much of Montalcino has become consumed by large estates and flashy conglomerates, it is a breath of fresh air to find a true family winery with deep roots in the region and an honest belief in the potential of Sangiovese from its native soils.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Berkeley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42275590275152,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/PietrosoBrunello.png?v=1776288899"},{"product_id":"girolamo-russo-etna-rosso-san-lorenzo-2022","title":"Girolamo Russo Etna Rosso San Lorenzo 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ‘San Lorenzo’ bottling is silky smooth with excellent structure, and concentrated yet with ultra-fine tannins that never overpower the fruit. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNearly impossible to resist, t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehe nose is full of damp earth and pepper, with subtle floral aromas of cherry blossom and then savory notes of bitter orange peel and oregano.
