Terra Costantino

Terra Costantino's story began over fifty years ago on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. The family started producing wine in their small, historic palmento, a traditional building used for winemaking without machinery, relying solely on passionate manual labor. Dating back to the 18th century, the palmento holds historical and architectural significance, and the family has preserved it as a symbol of Etna's winemaking heritage. Today, Terra Costantino remains a modern winery rooted in ancient values, guided by a deep love for the land and a profound respect for nature's rhythms.

The winery’s mission has always been to protect the local biodiversity and enhance its performance. In the 1990s, Terra Costantino was the first to embrace the challenge of organic farming on Etna, earning certification for their efforts. With a focus on sustainability, they maintain historical vines planted on terraces at an altitude of 450 meters, framed by the majestic presence of the volcano and a view of the Mediterranean Sea. Their commitment to working exclusively with indigenous grape varieties reflects their dedication to preserving the identity of Etna wines.

At Terra Costantino, the focus is entirely on native Etna grape varieties, which thrive in the unique volcanic soils and terraces of the region. The vineyard's commitment to organic farming and sustainable practices results in wines that are a true expression of the terroir, with each bottle telling the story of Etna’s rich viticulture heritage. The historical saplings and traditional winemaking methods are respected, allowing the wines to showcase the distinct minerality and complexity of this extraordinary landscape.

By working exclusively with indigenous grapes such as Nerello Mascalese and Carricante, Terra Costantino remains dedicated to producing wines that honor the ancient traditions of Etna while embracing a modern approach to quality and sustainability. The result is a collection of wines that offer a pure and authentic representation of the volcanic territory, full of character and elegance.
