More questions
A’ Puddara Riserva S.M from Tenuta di Fessina is an Etna Bianco DOC that embodies the volcanic essence of Etna, the beating heart of Sicilian winemaking. Coming from vineyards cultivated on the steep slopes of the volcano, this wine refines its personality thanks to the use of native grape varieties, with particular attention to Carricante, which gives unique freshness and minerality typical of the Etna terroir.
The aging method involves a delicate passage in steel and a subsequent period in the bottle, which enhances the aromatic and gustatory complexity without overloading the structure. On the nose, it opens with vibrant aromas of citrus, white flowers, and light mineral notes, almost of flint stone, narrating the territory of origin. On the palate, the balance between acidity and body leaves a sensation of purity and persistence, with savory hints and a velvety caress on the finish.
Perfect paired with fish dishes such as grilled scampi or delicate risottos, A’ Puddara Riserva S.M represents a refined expression of Etna Bianco, capable of surprising with elegance and character.

The story
The project began with the arrival of Silvia Maestrelli and her husband Roberto Silva and the subsequent acquisition of small plots in the Rovittello area. Operations were formally established in 2007, with the involvement of specialist consultants and collaborators who helped shape the estate’s style.
Production philosophy
The winery presents itself as "a place of beauty between land and spirit": its approach emphasizes the expression of Etna's volcanic terroir, respect for historic vineyards, and an artisanal interpretation of viticultural and cellar practices.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are located on the slopes of Mount Etna, characterized by volcanic soils, terraces and historic alberello-trained vines. For the CRU "Il Musmeci" the technical sheet indicates a north-east exposure, an altitude of around 700 m, deep soils and a composition of Nerello Mascalese with the presence of Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante and Minnella in the mixed parcels.
