Emilio Sciacca’s interest in Etna and wine developed through travel to wine regions and ONAV tasting training. An engineering graduate with a doctorate, he also pursued languages, nature and a strong connection with Sicily.
Active in Catania’s hospitality sector from 2003, he qualified as a tour-operator director and nature guide and created businesses welcoming visitors to Sicily. Food and wine became ways of sharing local culture and traditions.
Buying an old country estate overlooking Etna’s summit craters opened a new chapter. Restoring its palmento took time; the birth of his son Leonardo and collaboration with trusted friend and experienced grower Gianluca Torrisi helped turn the project into winemaking. The first bottles appeared in 2018.
For Emilio, restoring the land and cellar revealed the importance of balance between people and nature. The grower is an artisan working with nature rather than against it, allowing place, variety and vintage to shape the wine.
The restored palmento combines its historic character with hospitality for wine lovers and walkers. Wine and traditional food remain the language through which Emilio shares the project.
“How much joy and magic our best experiences would lack without good wine.”
