Pietradolce

The Pietradolce winery is based in Castiglione di Sicilia, a small village located on the slopes of Etna, one of the most important active volcanoes in the world. The winery was founded in 2005 by Michele and Mario Faro, two brothers who started this viticultural project with the firm intention of producing excellent quality wines that reflect the characteristics of the Etna area . The winery covers an area of 35 hectares of land, with vines growing on volcanic soils rich in minerals and nutrients. These particular conditions allow the winery to produce wines with unique and distinctive characteristics. The Pietradolce winery is known above all for the production of red wines, such as Barbagali, an extraordinary and highly awarded pure Nerello Mascalese, however, the cellar also produces white wines, such as Vigna S'Andrea, a pure Carricante, judged among the best whites from Sicily and an interesting rosé. The Pietradolce winery has always had a strong focus on sustainability and the environment. All the cellar's activities are carried out respecting sustainable agricultural practices, from the cultivation of the vines to the production of the wine. The winery also uses advanced technologies to minimize environmental impact, such as the use of drip irrigation systems and the use of renewable energy. The company has also obtained numerous awards and recognitions for the quality of its wines. The winery's wines have been selected for major wine events and have been praised by critics and wine enthusiasts around the world. We can define the Pietradolce winery as an example of Sicilian wine excellence, which combines tradition, technology and attention to the environment to produce wines of the highest quality.
