About Winery and Wines

Back in Sicily at the beginning of the twentieth century, after a brief experience in America, CArmine Trefiletti invested resources and physical strength in the planting of several hectares of vineyard in an area of Etna, Castiglione di Sicilia. Rocco Trefiletti, grandson of the founder, continues the family's winemaking tradition with the same devotion of the founder, dedicating himself with passion to the development of vineyards, following the traditional customs of Etna's winemakers.

Currently, the winery owns three vineyards, all in the Etnean territory, at an altitude ranging from 500 to 750 meters above sea level; in Linguaglossa, the vineyards are located in the districts "Martinella", from which our wine is named, and Pomiciaro. Another vineyard is located in the "Terremorte" district of Piedimonte Etneo. Being located in the northern side of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano of Europe, the soils derive from the disintegration of lava flows, ashes and lapilli which, together with the mild climate, give life to an ideal territory for the production of particular and unique wines.
