In 2014, Maugeri sisters Carla, Michela and Paola joined their father, Renato, on a mission to recalibrate their old vineyards on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna in Milo – the only area where Etna Bianco Superiore can be made. An extraordinary amount of work was conducted across the seven hectare farm, reforming over 100 terraces of lava dry-stone walls that support vineyards stretching from Contrada Volpare to Contrada Praino. Under the watchful guidance of enologist Emiliano Falsini, the property was expertly planted in the Alberello Etneo (local bush-vine) technique with a major focus on Carricante, positioning the vineyards for greatness. Absolute respect for the land, coupled with unobtrusive winemaking, allows the unique terroir of Milo to shine. Their outstanding set of mineral Carricante wines and superb Nerello Mascalese Rosato has catapulted Maugeri into the upper echelons of Italian wine.
