Our cellar is located in a magical place where the volcanic lands and the sea meet, in fact located 450 metres above sea level it allows you to enjoy a breathtaking panorama that extends from the peak on which Taormina is born to the coast of Syracuse giving us also a glimpse of Calabria.
The farm produces wines and sparkling wines from grapes coming mainly from the Santa Venera estate, a hamlet in the municipality of Mascali, on the eastern side of the Etna volcano in Sicily.
This agricultural reality was born from the passion for this land of its founder, the entrepreneur Pippo Turrisi and his wife Pina Capizzi. Over the years, production increased, becoming excessive for family consumption alone, so in 2008 Pippo decided to bottle his Nerello Mascalese giving life to what is our first production line: the “Classe 39”.
Pippo was a dreamer: he wanted to create a larger cellar, a tasting room from which he could offer his guests enjoyment for the sight and the palate, today that dream has become reality.
It is his daughter Maria Grazia with the collaboration of her husband Domenico Lombardo and their daughter Ludovica who manages the company pursuing the objective of producing excellent wines using high quality and healthiness standards thanks to an intelligent and rational use of modern technologies , guaranteeing respect for the territory and the environment through responsible viticulture that has its roots in the true passion of its creator.
It will be a pleasure for them to accompany you on a pleasant walk through the vineyards to show you how they take care of them, describing the experience of harvesting and the winemaking processes until obtaining a wine that tells of history and territory. Finally, our tasting room will welcome you for a pleasant food and wine experience.
