it is from Passopisciaro, a small village on the northern slope of the volcano that our story begins. The story of a man who already mature, with family and children, falls madly in love and devotes all his free time to his new lover who, in return, offers him a precious fruit. The lover is an eight-hectare vineyard, the fruit a rare and satisfying wine; the man Don Michele Pennisi, a cardiologist and conduit doctor. Since 1994 he has been joined by Vito, the faithful farmer, ready to share passion and knowledge and to pass them on, when the time comes, to future generations. The passion for wine runs through his veins like blood: in fact, it will be his son Vincenzo, a geologist, in April 2006 to pick up the baton from his father Michele. With Vincenzo, a new adventure begins: marketing wine. Different paths that converge towards one great road: the desire to keep alive not only the memory of those before them, but the passion of the family. From grandfather Don Michele one reaches the latest generation, the grandchildren. And the vineyard, a demanding but generous lover, once again responds with rich fullness to those who devote care and affection to it: 4000 bottles are produced from the estate, including white and red wine. A minimal production and precisely for this reason immensely valuable: for the quality of the wine considered by top experts to be of great finesse and pleasantness.
A precious and limited run of bottles allows Tenute Moganazzi winery to maintain that care and artisanal attitude that make the difference among Sicilian wines. Etna wines that draw the best from their land: the wisdom of tradition, the unique and rich taste of a volcanic soil, evocative of landscapes and sensations. Don Michele Etna Rosso DOC produced from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes from vines with an average age of 80 years, grown 650 a.s.l. on basaltic soil rich in silica and minerals. Delicate, with undertones of vanilla, wild spices and red fruit.
Don Michele Etna Bianco DOC produced from Carricante grapes, with small percentages of Cataratto, from vines 80 years old on average, grown 650 a.s.l. on basaltic soil rich in silica and minerals. Rich, with hints of white and tropical fruits, and balsamic herbs
