Sciare Vive is a 2023 white wine made from Carricante in Sicily, bottled as Terre Siciliane. The grapes spend 3 days on their skins in stainless steel tank. The must is then pressed, and primary and malolactic fermentation take place in 500-L oak barrels. The wine ages 7 months on its lees in those barrels, is racked into stainless steel a month before bottling, and rests in bottle for 1 month.
Vigneti Vecchio is the project of Carmelo Vecchio and his wife, Rosa La Guzza, both locals raised among the vineyards of Etna. Carmelo worked at the nearby Passopisciaro winery for fifteen years before starting his own label. They farm about one hectare of vines, some up to 130 years old, inherited from Rosa's family. They work sustainably by hand, make micro-vinifications in the small cellar beneath their home, age the wines in used barrels, and bottle without fining or filtration. Their first harvest was 2016.
