I am from: Etna, Sicily

The story: The Murgo cellars were founded in 1860 when Senator Luigi Gravina gave the Scammacca family about 30 hectares of vineyard on Etna where, today, the San Michele estate stands. More than a hundred years later on the same land, Baron Emanuele Scammacca del Murgo began the process of converting the land into the modern farm that is now the heart of our business.

His vision, which is still the guiding principle of the estate today, was to exploit the potential of the Etna area which enjoys a microclimate and a soil of volcanic origin ideal for growing grapes. These are fundamental elements to transfer a unique expression to their wines, thanks to an approach to viticulture which is based on respect for the plantings.

Why You'll Love Me: Fragrant with floral, graphite and spice notes, this bright and juicy, light- to medium-bodied red reveals cherry and strawberry character, with mineral and wild herb flavors tightly meshed to crunchy tannins.
