Description
Tenute dei Ciclopi
We were born on Etna. Like many children of this island, life has taken us far away. The journey, for those who leave, is a challenge. It's a way to find oneself, crossing different places and meeting different people. But it's along the way that the desire to reclaim one's roots, to return home, arises. The great theme of nòstos, which permeates and unites all the peoples of Magna Graecia. That's why we decided to rediscover our origins, in a difficult and at the same time generous land that has welcomed all the peoples crossing the Mediterranean for millennia. We returned to the Volcano to reclaim the smells, tastes, and sensations of our childhood and their dreamlike dimension. We decided to slowly recover, with the slowness of the ancient gestures of those who love their land, some historic vineyards, escaped from the various volcanic eruptions that many times, over time, have swept away every sign of man. We chose to take care of old vines, even on their own roots, between Castiglione di Sicilia and Randazzo, at altitudes that have never been reached by phylloxera, recovering the Sicilian bush vine and using the traditional chestnut poles from our woods.
