Winery Animaetnea

Animaetnea was born as a project focused on expressing the Etna terroir; multiple sources indicate that it is the Etna branch linked to the Feudo Maccari / Tenuta Sette Ponti group, with recent debuts of a series of wines that have attracted international attention. The official website and industry articles highlight historic vineyards on lava terraces in Passopisciaro and an initial production centered on four wines.

The winery aims to convey the volcanic terroir of Etna through authentic, uncontrived wines, prioritizing the expression of the place, heroic viticulture on lava soils, and, where present, the use of ungrafted vines to preserve the vineyard’s history and biodiversity.

Vineyards located in Contrada Santo Spirito in Passopisciaro on the northern slope of Mount Etna: black volcanic soils, high elevations and a highly variable climate that impart minerality, acidity and freshness to the wines.

Critical acclaim: positive ratings from international publications.
