At approximately 550 meters above sea level, this 3-hectare estate benefits from the influence of the Alcantara River, which helps shape a cool and breezy microclimate. The terroir is a unique meeting point between sandstone and volcanic components, capable of producing wines with a refined structure and vibrant acidity, making this site the ideal cradle for the expression of rosé wines.
It is no coincidence that the name Pietramarina recalls the distinctive composition of the soil in this contrada, located at the edge of the Etna denomination. Here, the soil stands out for its lighter color compared to other Etna areas and is characterized by the presence of marine fossils, originating from the Capo d’Orlando flysch, evidence of an ancient sedimentary origin.
In this case, the vineyard is conceived as a terraced Clos, with a rural residence at its center and a training system that alternates between bush vines (alberello) and vertical trellising, set within a landscape of olive trees and light soils.
