Generations of the Faro family have made wine and grown citrus fruit on Etna so it was ahomecoming of sorts when Michael Faro and his family established Pietradolce, meaning ‘sweetstone’, in 2005. The vineyards, nearly all 80+ year old bush vines (alberello) are planted toCarricante for the whites and Nerello Mascalese for the reds. The Etna Bianco DOC comes from young vines on the northern side at 600 metres. Carricante takes its name from carico, meaning ‘charged, loaded, burdened’ which refers to the abundant fruit on the vine. It is also a variety that is loaded with pronounced minerality and unabashed acidity. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, there are lively citrus notes with white flowers, the palate crisp and refreshing. - Trembath & Taylor, Importer.
