Terremoto Rosso is deliciously wild red from the northern slopes of Etna - 90% Nerello Mascalese, with a little Nerello Cappuccio and Grenache in the mix too. There’s blueberry, black cherry, spice and that unmistakable mineral crunch, a trademark of volcanic soils. Fermented with a portion of whole bunches, which makes it super fresh and textured, smoothed out by some time on lees in steel. It’s Etna all over, just beautiful. I met Nerina on my visit in October and we bonded over her wine, passion, and psychology. I’m thrilled to see her wine in Aus and to have got my hands on some of this very special Etna Rosso! Only small quantities available, can’t wait for you to try it…

About the Winemaker
Nerina Cardile | Nerina Cardile

Nerina Cardile makes wine in Solicchiata, a small village perched on the northern slopes of Mount Etna. Previously a practising psychotherapist in Milan, she took over her family's century-old vines in 2020 and began making wine under her own name. Her vineyards sit high at 700m above sea level, planted in sandy, ash-rich volcanic soils and farmed by hand using the alberello (bush vine) method.

Nerina favours minimal intervention in the cellar, working with native yeasts, no filtering or fining, and only a small amount of sulphur. Her wines are unmistakably Etna, but with Cardile's own clear and thoughtful touch. She's part of a new generation of Sicilian winemakers bringing fresh eyes to old vineyards, with one foot in tradition and the other pushing gently forward.
