Wine from Cantine Tornatore

A long story - of love and passion, of knowledge and respect for places - which has lasted for over a century and a half , since Francesco Tornatore's great-grandfather began farming back in 1865. The Tornatore family has continued, from generation to generation, in the path traced then, developing agricultural activity without ever neglecting the attachment and respect towards the traditions and the territory in which they have their roots.

Located on the fertile northern slopes of Etna, the Tornatore company boasts 100 hectares of lush land, with the largest extension of vineyards in the Etna Doc area , olive groves and hazelnut groves. Representing Sicilian excellence and tradition, our company grows native varieties in historic districts, combining traditional methods and modern technologies to produce superior quality wines. Our passion for wine is reflected in every bottle, celebrating the uniqueness of the Etna area.

Founded in 1865 by Francesco Tornatore's great-grandfather , the company has been carrying on a winemaking tradition that has its roots in the fertile lands of Etna for over 150 years . In 1910, grandfather Giuseppe consolidated the family business by building a millstone in the Piano Fiera district, marking the beginning of an expansion that would encompass other precious lands on the northern side of Etna. Our profound knowledge of the territory , enriched by decades of experience and passed down from generation to generation , allows us today to look to the future with the certainty of those who have always known how to respect the land and its traditions, continuing our commitment to excellence and innovation in the world of wine.

Making wine under the volcano is not easy, yet, for those who succeed, it is the most rewarding thing there is. The Tornatore company is located on the fertile northern side of Etna, whose lands, caressed by significant temperature variations due to the proximity of the Nebrodi Mountains, are home to vines that sink into an unrepeatable terroir , shaped by the activity of the highest volcano in Europe. The magical combination of terroir, climate and production knowledge makes the northern side of Etna an ideal territory for the production of unique wines of exceptional complexity and sensorial richness.
