The Scammacca del Murgo clan had been cultivating these volcanic slopes since 1850, but their wines had remained a well-kept secret among friends and family.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1981, Emanuele and his EIGHT (!) sons set out to transform their property into a modern estate while honoring its deep roots. They became the first artisans to champion Nerello Mascalese as a sparkling wine, recognizing that this indigenous variety—thriving in high-altitude vineyards of pure lava sand—could produce something otherworldly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday, Michele Scammacca del Murgo continues the family tradition in Santa Venerina, on Etna's eastern slopes. Their terraced vineyards climb from 1,600 to 2,000 feet above sea level, where 30 to 40-year-old vines dig deep into volcanic sand. Here, they craft this rosé using Nerello Mascalese, one of Italy's most captivating varieties, adding a fascinating aromatic dimension you’ve really got to taste to understand.
