Description
Terra Costantino deAetna Etna Bianco Sicily 2021
It’s not by chance that Terra Costantino has become the first organic winery on Etna, when the world had not yet discovered the extraordinary oenological microcosm of the Volcano. Behind this brand in fact, there is the long agricultural history of our family, made of love for the land. More than 40 years ago we met the fascinating history of this terroir: Dino Costantino recovered the vineyard in Contrada Balndano where today our winery is located and he discovered that the spontaneous wines that resulted from those 10 hectares of vines, looking at the Mediterranean sea in altitude, were coming from a tradition that had been renewing itself for centuries, around a millstone dated 1699. Even though the family business was at that time concentrated on other subjects, that meeting between man and land was dazzling, a love that is still renewed year after year, harvest after harvest.
